The political system is stacked against anyone that the people would really want in office anyways, and our bipartisan system disallowed by virtue anyone outside from being elected.
It's just sad.

Apathy is pretty uncommon in Tilted Politics, despite the fact that it's a pretty common view in America. Thanks for representing those who don't care.
And while our political process may not be perfect, it is very important--not just for us, but for the whole world. We can't control who's running for office, but we can control who gets the job. Picking the President is a huge deal (and by the way, in many state constitutions, it does say that the electors must vote for who wins the popular vote in the state). Just think of how different this country would be with Al Gore as president (or even with Bob Dole 4 years ago). Our history would not be the same.
