I care, and I'm not a right winger. I really don't like (most) Republicans, and I really don't like (most) Democrats. Hell, I don't really like most Libertarians either
GWB and Co started us down the wrong path with Patriot Act, Iraq War, etc.
Our current administration has DOUBLED DOWN on GWB's policies and done even worse: Patriot Act II, NDAA, attempted SOPA/PIPPA, attempted CISPA, expanded rendition, holding suspects without trial, didn't shut down Guantanamo, expanded drone strikes beyond imagination (with 10,000+ dead as "collateral damage"), now attempting to pass the "Marketplace Fairness Act" (i.e. enrich certain payment/tax software companies whose benefit would line the pocketbooks of certain Senators and Congressmen), embraced disastrous foreign policy with regards to the near East and is currently rattling the saber at Syria and cheering on/supplying Islamist rebels. Did I mention supporting Islamist rebels? Those people can't be reasoned with and are the enemy of any free thinking people. Their holy texts literally spend 60% of their verses talking about how to treat inferior non-believers, including raping and killing them as a means of conversion. And we want to HELP them? Assad is terrible, but I fear even more terrible things are to come if we support the rebel forces.
This doesn't even begin to cover the economic policy (read: cronyism). This administration's policies have WORSENED the rich-poor gap.
Under Bush, economic inequality was bad, as 65 cents of every dollar of income growth went to the top 1 percent. Under Obama, however, that number is 93 cents out of every dollar. Thats right, under Barack Obama there is more economic inequality than under George W. Bush.

I haven't even listed half the things I object to on civil, humanitarian, and foreign policy grounds. This administration has been an unmitigated disaster for civil liberties, sustainable economic growth (seen how many people just dropped out of the labor market? We're at 1978 labor participation rates!), and transparent government (Fast & Furious, Benghazi are the two highest profile that come to mind).
This is no longer about right or left - it's about cleaning house and getting ALL the corrupt bastards on both "sides" out. Get involved, because the way I see it - George Orwell may as well have been a prophet with the way things are going!
