I came to the realization that American politics has been reduced to the level of the goddamned Super Bowl. It's always the same two teams. The winners get to wave their "We're Number One!" fingers, the losers keep claiming "Aw, we'll getcha next time." And nothing much gets done either way. What does get done always BOHICAs the taxpayer.
I don't vote because my vote never made a difference in any election. You can't vote out corruption in any case. Plus it makes me feel like a salmon trying to swim upstream with a ton of other fish slapping me in the face headed the other way.
