Voting is broken in US IMHO...
Corporations lobby and drive policies...
We the people clearly don't matter to the US of A ... We're just huminerals to them ; especially the "middle class"...
No disagreemnt, but at the same time, voting can still make the difference between "pretty fucked" and "totally fucked." And that's not nothing.
The middle class, during my lifetime, used to mean one income supported a family of four.
Now, even DINKs struggle.
