36. Our entire (both parties) electoral process has become corrupt.
When you have an electoral process based on corporate money there is no choice. It is comparable to "reality" tee vee. The least realistic people are used as front people for the corporations to hide behind and control all.

As long as they pledge allegiance to corporate money and influence they are in. It is an outward change with an inward continuity of power. Anyone old enough to remember the USSR and its "politburo" can see the truth. At least in the USSR, the people were aware that their country was run by puppeteers.

It is now the same in America. Voting for "change" has proven itself to be implausible. The moneyed interests run this country, decide policy, etc. and has done so for decades. Like the old adage: "if voting changed anything, it would be illegal." To me that has been proven true, beyond a shadow (government) of a doubt.

GO OWS! OUR LAST CHANCE TO GET IT RIGHT.
