If all of you strip away your convictions, your emotions, and all that you understand about politics and realize that you, the republican voters, the democrat voters and everyone else outside of the elite establishment see us as two things: a tax payer and a vote. That's it. The media's role is to push your buttons enough to keep you voting on which ever side they lean and the politician's role is to say whatever it is that keeps them elected. Period. Understand that and you understand who you are in this movie... a pawn.

Eventually, we get smart enough, start a party for the people and start getting these people elected to start to change the system from the inside.

20-30 years ago. I agreed with you - but things have changed.

Have you ever played a game with someone who cheats, and does so in a brazen manner?

And you point this out, and they laugh at you and tell you to suck it up?

Now, I can't speak for you - but for me - I stop playing their game (or if I can) I remove them from the game - but that has a danger of essentially ending the game.

This is where we are at.

Wait a second... lots of flaws with your plan. But one of the more glaring: vote! LOL, this last Presidential election just PROVES our vote won't matter going forward. All you delusional folk who keep talking about "voting" and "primary" are still living in the dead husk of our Republic.

If this election is allowed to just be swept under the rug there will never be a free and fair election again.

I agree. Problem is: the entire government is in on it (minus President Trump). He will have to take drastic action. If he doesn't, we are in trouble.

"everyone else outside of the elite establishment see us as two things: a tax payer and a vote" . We can officially say that our vote has been eliminated from the equation. Taxation without representation
