Some say the parties are all the same..

Some say there isn't anything in it for them.

The same now say we need a new movement...okay...but sitting out elections isn't going to get you there. From the state house to the White House it needs to be a movement. Your not going to get there when the votes are rigged (gerrymandered to death).

Yeah it is rigged.

Some will be back complaining soon, and others will expound us with fantasy politics.

Buckle your seats because the next 2 years are going to be rough.
