Yes, voting is important, but I still see it as not nearly enough [View all]

and neither is GOTV.

The system is now so thoroughly corrupted by gerrymandering, money, what are essentially new Jim Crow laws in the guise of voter ID laws and the M$M that voting no longer has the power it once did

I don't see the point in denying these realities. Voting is more important than ever but the obstacles to a functional democracy are greater than ever and unless those obstacles are dismantled, we are fighting on uneven playing field.

Why? We live in a corpocracy, and by that I mean that we're a nation where corporate influence and power are such that they can determine the outcome of elections. It's not just the Kochs. It extends far beyond them and into both parties.

This election is a perfect example of all of the above.

Sure, demographics may change this dynamic- in 20 years or so, but we don't have 20 years to unravel the corruption that is extant.
