I have been thoroughly disillusioned by the american political system as it now stands. No matter who is in office, they don't do anything that is helpful to "we, the people". Everything they do is based on how it will help them and the corporations that help put them in power and keep them in power.
When they talk about lowering taxes, it's only for themselves and other rich people. When they talk about getting rid of things like health care, they exclude themselves from it. I could go on about this at length, but I won't. It seems that everyone has strong opinions about politics, and everybody thinks that their opinion is the only correct one. It's not worth the arguements, everybody gets pissed off, and nobody changes their mind about any of it.
