But God I think you're onto to something. I keep hearing "The Who" in my head... "Meet the new boss, same as the old boss..."

My feeling is the more people that actually vote for those they like instead of voting for elitist party heads, the less there would be the thought that votes are being "thrown away". The only truly thrown away vote is the one not made.
I refuse to fall for the propaganda that these elections spew. Independent-minded candidates are completely blacked out of the process, even though they need a certain amount of petitioned backers to get on the ballot. Why, once they are on it, are they completely excluded?
If there are others running, they should be given the chance to be heard and included in debates, etc.
Everyone talks about change, but does the same old thing....like that adage, what's the definition of futile? Doing the same thing over and over, expecting a different result each time....
