Doesnt matter who is in tne office...all of them are full shit.....we will be in the same shape today if Romney was in office....it is all bullshit Originally Posted by plove35That's true. Other than a few social issues, all people vote for is who gets to take lobbyists money to write their laws. Most Americans are pretty fucking clueless about how government actually works. The majority don't know how a bill becomes law, what committee their congressman works on if they even know who their congressman is, or truly understand the details of the issues being dicussed. I've learned most people are simple-minded with poor reading comprehension. Politics is tribalism, "Us vs. Them". Humans have the need to divide themselves and fight for various reasons.
Look at state governments, whether those governments controlled by Democrats or Republicans, they are in debt and poorly run. The problem is the American public. Americans understand headlines, but not the details. People ARE the government, but because people are ignorant, they've abdicated that power to corporations, de facto oligarchs.
