I've voted Green and Socialist whenever they are on the ballot but I must say that I've come to the conclusion that voting doesn't change a thing. Most of the time I feel hopeless about our country and the world in general but then I see what the people in Chili have done. Time will tell although at 72 I doubt that I'm around to see it.

I agree that voting in the faux "democracy" has no fundamental effect.
Hedges says it perfectly: It is impossible to vote against the interests of Goldman Sachs, the fossil fuel industry or Raytheon, no matter which party is in office.
In a time when we watch species go extinct every day and the world roll toward nuclear suicide, anger and pessimism are apt emotions but doing what we can do now is all we can do.
