The sad part is that for the americans to do good, they have to vote democrat. I am glad I don't live there.

We've been trying to vote and vote for decades, haven't we? When's it gonna work out? How do we make sure it's not too late for a lot of people by then, and/or too late to deal with climate change by then? ~Cherri

Not voting is not a choice, because then these bastards get even more power, it is a sad reality.

That doesn't answer any of my questions. ~Cherri

It is working out, if I am not mistaken, each setback the republicans suffer slows them down in making the US more awful, it is just hard to notice. The political system is trapped in a two-paty-system where both parties are corporate puppets. Without a new Ross Perrot there is no hope of changing that.

So it's not working out. The way you're putting it just sounds like this is hopeless and delaying the inevitable. ~Cherri

Unless:

A politician shows up that can actually change course.
Enough folks vote to put a halt to this and perhaps even reverse it. Delaying it might be a first step.
Protests put enough pressure on them to stop.

Civil rights movements have been succesful in the past, and letting it slip is just a waste.

You can't get more power than all of it.
