Why were are choices in that particular election between two militaristic, wealthy, elite class, scull and bones boys club, white guys? Why do we cling to these voting methods. Electoral college. Congressional districts. One man one vote. It doesn't really matter who is rigging the election when are choices are not really choices at all and the election process in its correct and lawful form is flawed. Let's not even mention the weight of money in this process, or the weight of the media in this process.
When either of these guys get in office, do they really represent the people? I don't know about you but I don't have health care. I work 20 hours a week more than my parents did. My country is at war as usual. The governmental debt we are handing our children will be a terrible burden to them. Our mentally ill people are left to wander the streets. Our planet's eco system is deteriorating at an alarming rate. When was the last time any of you saw any real representation in government? I can name my last time...Dennis Kucinich stood up for the people of Cleveland against a corporate engergy monopoly. That was a long time ago.
