Politics in the US

How do you feel about the system in general?

If you think its broken, Why do you put up with it if its broken?

It seems like 80% of people just don't care anymore. If people are fed up with the system, why do they continue to vote for the same type of people?

who's voting for someone who thinks their candidate will change things for the worse?

there are 3 candidates that I'd be happy voting for, and I think they'd all be a step in the right direction, though I have a realistic expectation for how much Washington can really "change."

Because they shut out reality and live in fantasy. Brain scans have shown that the rational areas of people's brains shut down when they are thinking about politics(it creates a justification for something and then rewards itself afterwards).

nothing will change much regardless of the "winner"

they are all for bread and circuses to keep the power in washington and out of the hands of the people

the system is designed to only let people in the system win, so no outsider can win without first changing the system
the system can only be changed by those running it

so we are screwed

just vote for whoever is the coolest or gives you the most bread and circuses
