Helplessness? Not at all. I'd be very much in favor of changing the way our elections are run, in many ways. Pointing out that one person that you don't like is in a position of power isn't the same thing. I think this quote by Thomas Paine illustrates my position: > [...] so far as we approve of monarchy, that in America the law is king. For as in absolute governments the King is law, so in free countries the law ought to be king; and there ought to be no other. There's a reason the US Constitution prohibits bills of attainder. We are supposed to be a nation of laws, applied equally to all. The way to fix this is via legislation that codifies the system we want to have.
