We're fucked until we take all 3 of those out of the equation and elect people who are actually independent thinkers and are unbeholden to special interest groups and hostage to their party base.
Amen.
Anyone else think that eliminating the Electoral Collage and specifically legislating that corporations are NOT people under the law would be a good place to start?
That Corporate Personhood definition is pretty scary. The Electoral College is part of that messy thing called Democracy, otherwise us Vermonters would be dictating shit to you Californians
Our insistence on sticking to the Original Fathers interpretation of the Constitution is important. It's the one document that defines free will, free speech, free democracy, rule of law. It's why the only dictator to actually get elected (bush) failed miserably.
