No. THAT is the system we have created it.
The past is littered with systems that no longer served their purpose and were either abandoned or reformed to handle the challenges that they no longer suitably addressed. I'm tired of our system being a piggybank for corporate whores that rewards politicking to the detriment of the public.
I also think that a sort of passive political nihilism is counterproductive, in this instance. So what if it;s the system we've created? Is it doing it's job? I don't think it is. Hell, we aren't even talking about reinventing the wheel here, in refusing to settle for a shitty candidate, just greasing the axle ffs. For all the ruckus about trickle down economics, the dems seem to have swallowed trickle down prosperity and ruin just as willingly. We're going to survive idiots in office, we already do, but they don't actually -seem- to be capable of manifesting positive changes based upon their vacuous campaign promises even when they -aren't- idiots...and their policies are very often idiotic regardless of their own level of intelligence. I've already opined on this in another thread, but if we're unsatisfied with the men and women we wake up with in the morning, maybe we should stop taking them to bed out of desperation?
It's a thought.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
