Who gives a shit?

They all lie.

How can you tell a politician is lying?

Their lips are moving.

Seriously....who gives a shit?

People who don't have the luxury of not giving a shit.

Namely, anyone who is concerned about their future and the future of their country. Those people. Because in the end, someone is going to be President.

Ironically, right now, I'm not sure who is worse. I genuinely (am) beginning to think that Hillary Clinton could be worst of two evils.

You have yet another option.. You can vote with your feet.. find a country that has more of the values you want in a country.. move there and get citizenship there, and give up your US citizenship.. Let the morons run this country into the ground (its halfway there now) and be happy that you found someplace better.. Most people wont do that, of course, cuz nearly everyone is just talk and that complacency is why those pricks and big corps and the 1% make the money they do, at the expense of Americans and the country..

Ehhhh....I kinda like my country but....as with Anderson (1980....who wanted to eliminate the debt....by raising the gas tax by 50 cents a gallon to do so....and was eviscerated), Perot in 1992 (who was eviscerated....similar reasons....wanting to pay off the debt), Perot again....in 1996 (same/same)....the American public does NOT vote for who can get the job done...both sides...historically .....consistently....choose "The One who can get elected".

I voted....in EVERY case for who (I felt)....could (would) pay off our debt...and I knew it would hurt.

But....everyone else voted for "who could get elected".

(Of course.....that's who we got).

And that....is who we will.....always....get.

(Because that.....is who we....collectively.....ALWAYS.....vote for).

As to being all talk....I voted for Anderson (in 1980....my very first election at 19 years of age).

And when I've had a candidate who was focused on debt reduction....I've voted for him.

(There have only been three....as stated above).

(As a bastard Republican.....determined {natch} to steal food from your babies).

Funny thing is that....paying off the debt (regardless of the personal cost....higher taxes for the wealthy AND all others)....would have made our children better off.....(even as it hurt).

Go figure.

(Sick fucking thieving piece of shit Republicans).

"cuz nearly everyone is just talk and that complacency is why those pricks and big corps and the 1% make the money they do, at the expense of Americans and the country"

I (personally) would argue that those who vote for "more of the same"....are the complacent ones.

(I chose a different path...for the last 36 years.....so can you).

Ok, so there is yet another option.. Americans can have a real bloody revolution & get rid of every single politician (ship em to Gitmo), scrap the political system and start over from scratch.. too bad Americans have become so gutless and that wont ever happen, its what is needed (paying off the debt isnt enough cuz the problem of being sold out by politicians will always be the problem under this system)..
