How many of their ranks are registered to vote?
How many of their registered voters actually vote?
I'd guess more than half. But that's not the point, is it? Voting has no effect. Do people honestly still believe in the Electoral system? Even after the Florida debacle and all the illegal tampering with voting machines? Come on, seriously. I can't believe anyone still thinks we, the people, elect our leaders. We don't. The Corporations and Banks choose who they want in power. They tell the two parties (and NO OTHER party is allowed to make it, just Reps or Dems) who to push out. Once public perception has been both measured via reaction and coerced via marketing and psychological conditioning (via mass media owned by said corporations), they then decide who is going to run for each party and who will "win" to become President.
Us going to the booth to vote? The illusion of choice. Coke or Pepsi? Boxers or Briefs? Facebook or Twitter? Republican or Democrat?
"Oh, I believe in an Independent Party"
American Conditioning:
"Oh, I want to vote for Ron Paul"
American Conditioning:
"What about a third party? A different set of ideas?"
American Conditioning:
NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!It's always the same. Year after year. Decade after decade. Those in power will hold onto it. Those with no power will be used and abused at the whim of those with power.
You're either for your fellow citizen or you're for the Federal Government and it's Corporate Interests.
