I'm disillusioned with the electoral political process

[Ardent15]

And here's why:

Everything is framed in electoral politics to protect the wealthy business interests that really run the government-call them the elite, the Owners, the Powers That Be, same people, different names. Doesn't matter which party you are, you have to surrender at least part of your soul to the "system" to get anywhere in power.

And after Bu$h's Supreme Court ruled that corporations can spend unlimited money on political campaigns, it's only going to get worse.

We have a political, economic, and social system that rewards sociopathic behavior. I'm really getting sick of it.

Anyone else here feel this way?

1. I thought on stuff like that.

Find things you think are worthy, don't be part of things you think are bad.

Express what you think and feel, people will be how they choose to be.

And if you get a chance, help people if you can, or just smile when you can. Don't let things like that ruin your day, but dont accept it as the way things are either.

I like to also believe in a bigger form of justice.


Unlimited money? I don't worry about that, contrary to what some thing, I believe there are things far more powerful then money.

I played this clip before, but I like the way Steve Winwood sings and think about this song when I feel the way you mention.

4. I don't have much hope in the system

It's a fundamentally flawed system at its core.
