Of course they are. We know that you can't please everyone.

But if you're rational, there are ways of compromising so that people are mostly happy.


When's the last time you or your parents or anyone you know had any actual input into who our two choices for President are?

Probably never.

So who are the ones making the choices of who runs? The ones that are already in power. Would they ever willingly let a new contender come in and try to get some of that power? No way. They'd do everything in their power to stop that from happening.

So how can that change?

You are saying you don't think it can because it would cause different problems. By saying that you are indirectly saying you have resigned yourself to being a complacent person. You are happy with what you are provided and don't want anything better. You go with the flow. You're one of the herd. Congratualtions, you are doing exactly what the parties that have the power want you to do.

That's not for me though.

P.S. Intellectual discussion regarding politics is not whining. It's conversation and sometimes debate.
