31. Not sure we even have a legitimate vote anymore...
In the primaries, the Party gives us the choice between Corporate Candidate A and Corporate Candidate B, in most instances. Any progressive candidates are marginalized and/or underfunded. How much funding did Feingold and Grayson get from the Party in 2010? I seriously don't know, but wouldn't you think the Party would give top priority to funding those seats that are in danger?

On top of that, there's always the fraud of electronic voting... These days, I tend to think that voting is an illusion created by the real owners of our government to make the rest of us think we still have a government of the people.

Great post, though, kentuck. Rec.
