» Does the Executive Branch still matter?
Long gone must be the days when the average person cared about who was elected President of the United States. It SHOULD matter, but it doesn’t seem to. The only thing for sure is that if a new president is elected, some overseas power will “try them out” to see what the official new American response will be.
How did this happen? Is it because the media would rather talk about anything else? Is it because no candidate will risk setting themselves too far apart from the pack? Or is it all on purpose so that the common person feels they don’t even need to vote?
If you don’t throw in with a politcal ‘party’ then you can’t even choose who the CHOICES will be. If you choose outside the official choices on the ballot, you can pretty much bet the farm your special choice won’t win, but the alternative is casting a vote for someone you really don’t want to vote for. Why is it we now have to decide who we hate less in order to vote for an executive in charge?
Yeah, sure, we can all send a jillion emails telling everyone not to vote, but internet spam doesn’t need any extra help. I don’t have a solution, either… more on this when I think I do.

And my choices make me not want to make any damn choice at all. I want someone worth a shit to run for president. I don’t want to vote for just the best option of two shitty options. I want someone I actually want in office. (screw politics!)
