Akenaton, I have no hope of changing the system with my vote. Of course everything is owned and run by the rich. As a socialist, I am so far from most of my fellow citizens that I feel like I'm alone in a wasteland. I am painfully aware of how little influence me or anyone I know will ever have on the basic nature of our culture.

What my vote can get me is an administration that cares a little more about normal people, that wants to regulate (and tax!) the rich, that wants us to live according to our constitution, and that doesn't promote official discrimination against women, immigrants, people of color, and gay people.

This has been said here many times and no one has ever come up with a rational answer for it. So, Akenaton and Little Hawk, take your "nothing makes any difference" bullshit and shove it. Or you could answer the point without repeating what you've already said on the subject over and over and over again. You're both very boring as things stand.
