and people are still going to vote for these people. When the heck are the American public going to wake up that the two main candidates men are usually ALWAYS controlled by big business, so in other words it is a fascist dictatorship (unelected power run by big business), not a democracy. The media are not on your side, they are on THERE side.
And who we vote for doesn't matter - the elections are rigged.
If you won't believe that, then look at it this way - campaigns today are all about how much money the candidates have; the one with more money pretty much always wins because he can buy more ads to influence the voters. Campaign contributions come form big business; whoever the corporations wants to win will get more money, and that's our new president.
Politicians DO NOT have our best interests at heart, they couldn't care less about us as long as they get elected/re-elected. But thankfully everyone seems to know THAT, at least. Although that raises the question, why does no-one do anything about it?
It's because everyone is so dumbed down with toxins in their food, water, air, drugs, watching television, brainwashing, etc etc.

I remain hopeful. Think we are finally starting to see "a critical mass that is reaching a critical mass" (IE Arab Sring, the Spanish Indignados movement, OWS, the Maple Spring in Quebec, the public workers in Wisconsin, etc)
Remember, oligarchs didn't just recently spring up here, they've been around since the Declaration of Independence, so it only stands to reason that is may take time for change.
AND since "politics" is a no-no here, I'll sum up my final two cents with two words: Third Party

Of course it isn't as simple as that. It's just that Americans are finally coming to the realization that the choice between Dems and Republicans is the political equivalent to the choice between Goldman Sachs and Citibank, or in other words, none at all, and more and more will be (are) demanding a real alternative - one with a genuine set of people-first politics that attracts votes.

We've had the Lib-Dems since the 80s. We are now in a coalition government with the Tories and the Lib-dems. It's taken that long for the third party to get anywhere near being in power and it's taken a coalition to achieve it. At the next election they will probably lose a lot of support and we'll be back where we started. We need honest politicians!!! Real people who want the best for the country/world not what will put the biggest wad of cash in their pockets.

Apathy/inertia, plain and simple. A lot of people are of the mindset that anything you do is pointless because it is a no win situation, so why try?!! Unfortunately, that is exactly where "they" want us.
[/B]watching television, brainwashing, etc etc.
Thankfully, people no longer need mainstream media anymore to send and receive information. I don't think it's a coincidence that the uprisings we've seen in Iran, Tunisia, Egypt, and elsewhere have come at the same time as the advent of mass communication through social networking technology.

well, and also people need to study law at a prestigious university but not even that's guaranteed.
of course, people don't know how to use the judicial system.
of course people are apathetic, all they now is how to revolt violently. against martial law? of course.
also Fluoride, poisoning. And our current education system does suck anyways. the list seems inexhaustible actually.
People are not able to really unite. their power has been stripped apart from them. But we must have compassion instead of hating the general public. We are part of the public as well.

Yes. I don't hate them. I do feel sorrow for the situation though.

I don't hate them either.

Me neither. I feel compassion for them.
I also know they'll wake up...sometime.

GOOD news for once:
Growing GMOs banned in San Juan Washington
Very nice to hear, especially after the Proposition 37 debacle.
