Very well then, you want "involvement" here it is:
American politics is BEYOND STUPID. I'm tired of being told that it is my "civic duty" to make a choice when no acceptable choice has actually been presented to me. I'm tired of having to walk into a voting booth and select among candidates I don't want. I'm tired of throwing potentially decent people into this den of iniquity only to be turned into monsters keeping the fires of hell stoked. I should be able to vote "None of the above," and have that count as a vote which MEANS SOMETHING other than "this person couldn't be bothered to make a choice." The fact that I can't do that makes this whole thing a farce.
Problems do not get solved by having the the extremists at either end of an issue yelling at each other. The solutions are in the middle, in the land of compromise, discussion, listening, and hearing. We Americans are ABSOLUTE IDIOTS for perpetuating this nonsense. We are lazy cretins who buy this lame argument that just casting a vote has some great meaning and purpose. Every election we do this crap of ping-ponging back and forth between "the two parties," thinking we are changing something and getting the system to work, and in the last 20 years, the rancor has become so vile that the government has been brought to a virtual standstill as these fucking peacocks strut around trying to make themselves look important. And the American public just eats this shit up as if it were manna from heaven. Then they turn around and complain about jobs going overseas, the wealthy not paying their fair share, corporations run amok, welfare hadnouts, entitlements, blah, blah, blah, yada, yada, yada.
I'd like someone to explain to me what difference it should make how someone looked during a debate? What is the probative value of having these two people stand up and blather at each other when we can't even hold them to any truth? What is the point? Why should I make a decision about who should run the country based upon theater? It's insulting! This country has been going to shit for the last 20 years because the political system is a complete joke. The will of the people isn't being done because the people have the collective attention span of a gnat, and about as much intelligence! These freaks in Washington can pretty much do and say what they damn well please...as long as it provides entertainment, we are all for it.
So, yeah, you go right ahead and discuss politics all you want. I hope you don't think that it will actually amount to anything but idle talk. Continue feeding this hell-beast we've created. Why should any of us give a damn...the damage is pretty much set in stone now.
