Wow, Meg! You saved me so much time by putting down all my thoughts for me. Thanks
I too feel that both parties have sold us down the river. The Ds and Rs have a monopoly that is nearly impossible to break because they make all the rules. What a slick system it is !
Of course not all elected reps. are whores or parasites but I honesly don’t have the time or energy to KNOW who is actually serving versus merely self serving.
But without viable options to these parties how will we ever see any significant change? I truly believe we shouldn’t vote for incumbents, with the intention of breaking the system they’ve created. And while that throws out the good with the bad I can’t imagine how else it’ll happen.
One term, do your actual honest to goodness public service, and then it’s back to private- citizenship and a JOB with no special retirement or health insurance courtesy of you and me.
