I can distill my entire position on this matter down to a single stolen joke. American politics has become a game of tic tac toe; the only way to win...is not to play.
It's not that I don't have hope, lol. I think that my kids will die in a better USA than I will. I just can't bring myself to believe against all evidence to the contrary that the way to get from here to there is by playing this silly little game that's been engineered for us. Elections have become the proverbial bread and circuses. They're a distraction..an episode of survivor to keep us yanking levers but otherwise complacent for the next few years..until it's time to yank a lever again.
That much, imo, should have become painfully obvious when america elected a reality tv talking head.

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!
