Not quite sure if this belongs in P&N as it contains no news, and it's a general sentiment.
In my opinion, the current state of US politics is garbage. How can anyone religiously favor one candidate over other? It's all cloak and dagger. Our opinions are 95% formed by our favorite biased news of either side. Once we pick a candidate, it's human psyche to filter out what you like and discard the rest. Facts and stats? They can cherry-picked and spun in anyway to their agenda. Your candidate's image is nothing but a product of their campaign manager.
And both are corrupted without choice thanks to massive campaign contributions and they have to scratch them back in office. When I see a candidate, I don't see someone who wants to serve the nation. I see just another guy climbing their professional career, just like you and me.
Lastly, let's say you have carefully picked whom to vote after months of research, mulling over. and weighing all options. Your vote counts as much as that old lady I knew in college who voted for Bush because he's cute.
Fail, on all fronts.
Moved from OT.
