At least we can vote
At least I think we still can vote, and have it count.
Can one believe that this is even thought about? But it is to too many Americans in our USA. This Marine wonders?
Between vote manipulations at all levels, federal, state, county, city, and school boards, one can wonder. Things have evolved, it seems. Manipulators have gained an advantage. This is so human, as in it has happened before. And now the pendulum has swung the other way. One can hope it just ends up with each person gets one vote, that counts. That sounds pretty simple, to most.
And when I went to school, part of the education was about our Constitution. One can either think we in the new world, America, are different in all ways, or one can think we just bring the old world over here, and do it again. Now that is a political choice.
And I know how I will vote, again, assuming, it counts.

Unfortuately, the Supremes have legislated from the bench...essentially giving corporations the rights of citizenship. Corporations have tentacles that reach far...China and people who consider themselves immune from any national interest...sending their corporate headquarters offshore (Halliburton to Dubai)...
Tough for us to fight the money...
"All contributions by corporations to any political committee or for any political purpose should be forbidden by law," said Teddy Roosevelt in the first years of the 20th century...
In an 1816 letter, Thomas Jefferson declared his hope to “crush in its birth the aristocracy of our moneyed corporations, which dare already to challenge our government to a trial of strength and bid defiance to the laws of our country.”
