Big business owns your candidate:

‘Following the Money – Campaign Moves, The CoC/Wall Street Roadmap, and Candidate Expectations…
…Small donations are now only a matter of keeping up an appearance.  Hence they now ask you to purchase a $1 or $3 trinket.  Get a couple thousand of those via handy cell phone aps, and that helps mask the fact that only a few donors are actually funding the entire campaign.
…When they need you to vote, they’ll ring a bell – Dems will use social issue fear strategy (abortion, war on women, race etc.); the GOP will use the fear strategy involving gun control, or, oh this one is really good, the repeal of ObamaCare! – Your job is to show up to the polls, pull lever, get temporary relief pellet and simply go away and shut up.’
Somebody please tell me again how the ballot box is supposed to fix anything.
