16. Very good question.

Sadly, the fact that there has been no major investigation spearheaded by the Democratic Party aimed at rooting out election theft via software, which makes stealing elections easy and undetectable, leads me to believe our two party system is actually one big corporate party designed to give us the illusion of choice (not a particularly popular opinion here, I know).

The GOP has evolved into a truly fanatical group which, in my opinion, could never gain the level of representation they currently enjoy in both the House and Senate with honest, open, and fair elections. The highest levels of the Democratic Party should've been screaming bloody murder about this since 2000.

There are of course other things, such as the influence of big money, which make getting the best candidates elected extremely difficult.

We now have an entrenched, systemic problem with the use of these easily rigged voting machines, and I don't think it's an exaggeration to say it spells death to any chance for a truly democratic electoral process in the US.
