There IS a solution. Start supporting third parties. Elect people who will vote for campaign finance reform, allowing us to have MANY political parties like western European nations do. Americans feel so morose about politics because we don't have any choice and our candidates are determinedby how much money they can raise. Not their ideology and not their connectoin with the American people. If all candidates worked on an economic level playing field they'd HAVE to win with ideas, and policy. NOT with media stunts and P.R. events and big flashing lights.
