The reason Obama Administration is pissed at Snowden is not because he leaked so-called "secrets", but because he exposed the "man behind the curtain". That is to say: Obama is no different than any mainstream Republican would have been.
I voted for Obama twice; and in 2008, when the race against McCain was tight, I spent many weekends in Reno and Northern NV, campaigning, pounding the pavement, going door-to-door in the heat.
And I will be cancelling my Democratic membership. I urge all of you to do so too (Democrat or Republican). It is clear that neither of the two parties are interested in our rights. Democrats like Feinstein and Pelosi are war mongers; and Republicans are merely a shadow of their so-called ideals. Republicans are also to blame, because they go out of their way to push for such things. Look at the Republican braying after Benghazi; they will take even the slightest setback to go after Democrats as weak on terror. And the Democrats are more than happy to oblige by bringing in a police state.
Please: the only way to bring about change is to stop voting for either party, and to actively campaign against them. We are lucky: we have 15 months to go before the next election. Let's get some third-party candidates in the House!
- unclebucknasty 13y agoMan, I wish I could bonus upvote this. One vote just isn't enough. If it's not clear by now that these two parties are two sides of the same coin, controlled by the same interests, and driven to the same goals, I don't know what will make it clear.
- quadrangle 13y agoFor reference, the BEST solution to the two-party system is RANGE VOTING: http://rangevoting.org/ http://rangevoting.org/ Don't waste your time trying to do anything against the two parties until we get that in place.
- kaonashi 13y agoSo don't do anything to unseat the two major parties until the two major parties pass a constitutional amendment making unseating them possible?
- SmokyBorbon 13y agoYou don't deserve any credit for realizing he's a monster now. He got elected to the senate by getting his opponent's private custody records unsealed. Millions of people saw through the hype and you should have too. But, not only did you vote for the man, you admit that you campained for him twice. On behalf of the citizens of the country you helped destroy, f*ck you.
