It's pathetic in a country when the top topic is often how much money presidential

candidates have to spend. There should be public financing and only x $'s allowed. It is such an extreme example of how politics in the US are just bought. This, is no F'en democracy.

or try to vote for candidates to change this but IMO, often, so many can't seem to comprehend what is going on, and yet others IMO simply don't care. It's all part of the brainwashing and dumbing down of Americans for the advantage of the privileged.
