We are not a true democracy but a representative democracy where we elect persons to act on our behalf. It would be impossible for each of the 3M of us to vote on every issue. However, those who are supposed to represent us common folk seem more interested in those campaign contributions from wall street than us. The motto of the US Marines is God, country and corps. Politicians motto is donors, self and party.
No chance for progress in America
The media pundits keep telling Americans on TV that we must have globalization, we must only elect Republicans and Democrats, we shouldn't have a class war, we should keep letting the politicians take bribes on the record and kickback favors for those bribes, and the list is a bottomless pit of stupidity,
Only people in a deep trance would be irrational. Americans are so arrogant and hypocritical that they'd prefer being destroyed by the pundits who use propaganda to keep them in a trance around the clock.
Americans are a bottomless pit of stupidity
There is no floor in this pit. The bottom does not exist. Each night Jon Stewart and Steve Colbert ridicule the leaders and most prominent powerful Americans. They are ridiculed for their bizarre, absurd thoughts which they communicate on a daily basis but no one in America understands that the politicians and pundits who manipulate all American behavior, are liars and stupid.
The entire media conspired to brush aside the claim by Hillary Clinton who was campaigning against Obama. She made a public statement that was a direct lie. Beside it being a lie, why would any reasonable person want to elect a person because they had been shot at in Bosnia? Can it get any more stupid than that? The claim that Hillary Clinton is a smart person from Yale is nonsense. The fact that Obama would ignore such a ridiculous lie which she blamed on being tired. Hillary makes up illogical lies when she gets tired but Americans couldn't care less.
Having Americans choose their President is a terrible idea. There needs to be a test that Americans need to pass or they should not be allowed to vote. Why would anybody oppose that? If you can't pass the test, you can't vote. The questions will be made public so all citizens can learn the correct answers. If people don't care, and can't pass the test -- America would continue being stupid. We'll allow poorly informed people to vote in the worst possible choice to run America further into the ground.
Obama has lied about everything he promised us to sucker voters to vote for him. 98% of the blacks voted for him and I can understand that, but now the blacks are afraid to admit that Obama screwed them and everybody else except the crooks who gave him $35,000 to be in the same room for lunch in NYC.
I don't care what color the president is if he's making decisions that will benefit all Americans with good job opportunities and fair taxation. A great energy plan would be fabulous for all of us but Obama will never do that. That's a proven fact.
