Let me guess. Teabagger or LibertarianLook at you. As much information as you have you still vote wrong. So I don't know what the problem is if more people show up and vote there hunch their heart or their gutWhen very few people vote then if I were a politician I would only worry about what the Rich lobbyist want me to do I wouldn't even worry about the voters because I know only voters are the rich people who want the status quo and that's RepublicanDraw a Venn Diagram. Our Republic is a sub-set form of democracy.. And your comment about understanding the Constitution should be left to elected representatives is APPALLING..
If you want manipulated automatons with no knowledge of how America got here to be the dominant voting block, you will end UP with a true Democracy. And that's not actually a good thing. Because the government already SUCKS WADS at 87% of the things that they do.. And PANDERING to voters is easier than actually fixing problems. THAT ---- is a large part of our CURRENT problem..
Low information people vote when they personally want something. Or they vote when the Govt steps on THEIR toes, or they vote because there's a cool and trendy angle to the election.
They don't vote because they are personally responsible for PARTICIPATING in govt. But voting without PARTICIPATION in the process, without an investment in understanding ALL the lying from BOTH sides is not admirable..
You want less corporate and special interest participation? LIMIT the government back to the few powers that they are ACTUALLY responsible. It's the POWER they have stolen stupid,, not the money..
If they couldn't pander and gift out to corporations and special interests -- Money wouldn't flow..
They can't even launch a website or protect 20Million employees from having their life records stolen by the Chinese. This is same govt that RENEWED Mohammed Attah's visa AFTER 9-11. No wonder the voting process is so lousy in this country. There's no attention to what govt is SUPPOSED to be doing.
And having MORONS without skin (brains) in the game voting just to run up the numbers -- Is just gonna make all that worse. REGARDLESS of whether they vote for Repubs or Dems..
You have no idea how I vote. Most my adult life has been spent defeating the monopoly of the Dems and Repubs and working towards 3rd party parity.
"vote their hunch, their hearts, or their gut"..... Seems you left out their brains, principles and conscience.. I said a general gut reaction to a direction they didn't like is OK.... but I refuse to give up hope that they've actually STUDIED the issues and are PARTICIPATING from evidence --- not feelings or criminal political lying and manipulation...
Lemme guess -- Progressive with no actual party to represent you or Socialist pillager in the same boat?
