Most voters won't admit it, but they LOVE the B-S from politicians. If they really hated it, it would have been voted out a long time ago.
I disagree, we vote for the bullshit cause thats all we have for choices.
Liberal bullshit
Vs.
Conservative bullshit
Let's see, where do I closer fit? Who do I think is the lesser idiot? Who is the lesser evil? Who do I not agree with least?
Agreed, we need to change the way we do elections to an instant run-off system. That way we can have more than 2 candidates on the ballot and still elect a president with a popular majority. I think more people would vote for 3rd party candidates if there wasn't a chance of a president being elected by the largest minority instead of the majority.
