Thread Name: BS: Is the USA really a democracy?
Subject: RE: BS: Is the USA really a democracy?
One of the nice things about our federal system here in the USA is it gives the rights for such matters to individual states. If one is not happy with the way things are in a state, he can complain, effect change of what he or she doesn't like, or, simply, move.

In the presidential race, this is only true for those who align themselves with one of the two major parties. For those of us who do not want to align ourselves with either of the two major parties, there is no state in the country we can move to and expect our vote to be counted. Ever.
