Politics in the U.S.

Politics in the U.S.

Politics in the U.S. is and has always been, nothing but sharks in suits pandering to the ignorant. They pander to the ignorant to gain approval as their "Leader" and to set themselves up as part of the ruling class, bestowing upon them many perks and benefits. The masses are ignorant, and so they pander to them. If the masses were well informed and intelligent, candidates would be taking a very different approach. We have only ourselves to blame for the stupidity of the wide selection of candidates that are either ignorant or already connected to the upper class..many times both. If we want real change, we must demand it. The majority need to be educated beyond their own racist, xenophobic, reality tv watching consciousness. Schools cannot do this, as they rely on funding from the very same government that panders to our ignorance. We must all self-educate before any real progress is to be made. It's easy to pander to mass ignorance....which is why the corporate state uses media to keep us ignorant...we must fight this establishment to make our way to a better future. If we want state sanctioned democracy, we must fulfill our end of the bargain. It takes thinking people making active moves every day, not just turning up to the polls every 2-4 years and voting, expecting one person or administration to take care of everything. That is not what democracy is. That is the definition of an approved dictatorship. Democracy is all about active participation in politics. We must remember that there are no one pill cures and there are certainly no political saviors or one election results. If things got done on their own, corporations wouldn't have twice as many lobbyists than there are members of Congress. It takes people lobbying, protesting, demonstrating, and taking direct action for a democracy to function. You wouldn't expect capitalism to work if everyone bought something, and no one was making that something. It's a union between politicians and people...just like the union between worker and consumer. We must educate ourselves on things that are important. We must then make them work for our support, or they're doing nothing but acting and making laws in the corporate interest or their own.
