President Obama Indicts Sixth Whistleblower Under the Espionage Act

30. You can vote for whomever you want--it won't change a thing

It should be apparent by now, that it doesn't matter who is in office--Dem, Rep or whatever. Our system
is so corrupt and so taken over by the corporations and a bunch of sell-out, coin-operated elected
politicians--that voting is practically meaningless.

The corruption continues, no matter who is in office or no matter how well-intentioned, intelligent or moral
the President is.

The sick disease that has taken over our government is more powerful than the office of the Presidency. The
corporations run things now. They decide.

I think it's fine if people want to post threads about the benefits of voting for Obama. It's also fine to discuss
why Obama would be better than Romney. Lord know there are dozens of reasons. But it angers me when
we've got a very serious discussion going on here about honest whistleblowers who are being imprisoned for
revealing the crimes our government is perpetrating---and we're brought back to this voting issue. It's like
we're all discussing the horrible hell that is our government and how sick and disgusting and corrupt it all is--and
how truth tellers are now being thrown in jail for talking---and the answer is...remember to vote for our guy???

No. Sorry. This is a huge problem that requires an major overhaul of our federal government and a purging of
the entire system as it is run right now--with evil, powerful corporations controlling our government. We're not
lemmings. We don't need to hear these sick realities--then be pulled back in and reminded that we must still
vote for the Democrat. Yes, we must vote for the Democrat--but that is not the right solution for the topic
being discussed here. We need serious, paradigm-shifting change and revolt in this country--if our votes
are ever to mean anything.

We don't need to be reminded like good little soldiers--that we must vote, vote, vote--as our democracy
is dismantled in front of our faces.
