I think people are sending the message that they are unhappy with the status quo, and the result is Donald Trump and almost Bernie.
The underlying problem is and will remain the amount of money changing hands in politics. If we curtail that, then we can have people less interested in the power and favors that come with political office. Until such time, it won't matter how many people vote for the Green Party or the Libertarians, because the majority of this country can easily be polarized and whipped into a frenzied hatred like all of us here. There is no reason that it should cost almost a billion dollars to run for president.
Our culture has to change, and I don't see that happening.

"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
