1. They don't even understand my interests or realize that there are

people who don't have millions in the bank to fall back on, staff and servants handling all the details, that no one is calling me up to take me to dinner/movie/ballgame/theatre every night of the week for free just so I'll vote a certain way.

We've come so far from the citizen-representative system that our fore-father's tried to establish, it's not even the same species, much less the same animal.

3. Actually, we're powerless

Not just Democrats; everybody without the wherewithal to contribute large sums of money. We used to have elections as an equalizer; now even that's in doubt. I write my congressmen out of habit; I don't expect my opinion to matter.

2. I took the survey, but then I added in the text box...

Joe Scarborough seems ignorant and dopey. Why do you still have him on your cable channel? He did an especially poor job when interviewing the Hennepin County doctor from Minnesota. Does he know what fact checking is?

Im funny.

4. You should re-post this on a "busier" day.

Traffic seems kind of slow today, and that's the best question I've read in a long time here. It shouldn't just be a response to a MSNBC poll. This sense of powerlessness invites many more questions.
