Title: POLL:Do you think the voting system is a sham and that our votes are meaningless
Post by: Butterbean on July 17, 2012, 07:55:30 AM
Many people believe that our votes in local, state and/or federal elections are meaningless and that large corporations and/or secret society groups etc. actually direct the outcome of elections.  

Do you believe that our votes count or are they meaningless?

I think our votes count however large coorporations and other lobbyist use a shitload of cash to form our opinions and thereby our votes.

Just look at this board republicans give money to companies that outsource yet lobbyist have everybody convinced its Obama who is killing the economy.
