    Unfortunately, until we get money out of politics, voting doesn’t really matter.

    The ruling class can just funnel more money to the opposing side to get them elected. They’ve already got it down to a science so they don’t spend more than they need to.

    They haven’t even scratched the surface of how much money they can spend to control elections. It’s all just the bare-minimum to them, like maximizing profit.

      100% agree. Until Citizens v United is overturned we do not have a functioning Democracy.
