I Feel As If Im On An Island

I have always considered myself a Democrat because I could NEVER see eye to eye with anything republican. They value greed and corporate interests which is contrary to my personal values.

But the Democrats from Obama on down have not represented my values over the last couple of years either. The so called independent candidates that broke from their parties alliances are fucking jokes and I dont feel ANY of our elected leaders are looking out for the average American. The working middle class.

What I consider to be Americas backbone.

I DO vote and I encourage others to do the same but who TRULY represents the interests of me and my peers? For once I would like to enter a polling place and NOT have to settle on the lesser of the two evils when casting my vote, as I have one in the last several elections.

I need to feel confidence in the electoral process and so do the bulk of the population. Thats why America has such a shitty turnout of voters every god damned election. Most see voting as an exercise in futility and THAT is not the American way.

So where do people like me go to once again gain confidence in our government and more importantly OUR COUNTRY?
