    Yeah, it's a pretty powerless and pessimistic view to have especially since we are the one's who get to pick the president. Umm, I guess people are still of the mindset that the corporate bought candidates are the only options we have and that we truly don't live in a democracy also they must be play with this because I'm not seeing too much of a struggle. That's the only way I know how to explain it.

    How can we only have 2 options and those 2 are both controlled by corporate money...and yet the masses still think that these candidates will look out for our best interests over the corporations who are paying them not to?

    Sheesh people, wake up!

    We do not get to pick the president!!!! We do not!!

    in a country with hundreds of millions of people, the election is easily manipulated by the media. The system we have is broke. There ARE only two options.. not because the people believe there are only two, but because there are only two!!!!

    these millions of people can not be turned around with logic because it fights against deception and manipulation of facts...

    this is not just a perception it is a fact.

    as long as we can use high tech media to paint the picture for these millions of people, and build a world that plays on their fears.. the election will be decided by the media.. not by choice, but by force. The media has taken this election by force, and the people don't have the means to fight back, becuase we can not create a fake news show to build a world where Nader could be president

    while we are living in fabricated worlds, we do not have a vote.... we do not!

    Power in numbers. It's more our country and democracy than it is theirs. We need to stop acting powerless, apathetic, whining and do something about it! Lest we continue to be alright with being slaves who have no real say.

    I agree. I don't see how a vote for Nader is that.
