Yup. Some people think that our parties represent some set of ideals and that the politicians campaigning under their banners actually support those ideals. Even most who know that that pipe dream is dead, instead of voting for someone they think might do as they promise, they still vote dem or repub thinking that one is somehow worse than the other.

I think of watching politics more like watching wrestling on Saturday mornings when I was a kid and didn't realize it was all staged. Jimmy Snuka, where are you?

term limits accomplish nothing

it creates a false assumption otherwise

the staffers stay and they become an unelected powerhouse

the only solution is to make elections politically funded and to convince people their vote matters.

we have people voting that shift with the wind based on emotional pontificating by those in office

Yeah but...it stops us from getting a third round of Obama.
How the guy got in the second time amazes me.
