You're assuming that we actually have a voice.
Do you honestly believe The Powers That Be, those who actually run this country (CIA, Wall Street) are going to hand over the reins to a Socialist, or Donald Trump? At least Marco Rubio could be manipulated and played like a cheap fiddle (like W), but nobody gets the nuclear codes without being vetted by the people who actually make all the decisions. We don't actually vote for the candidate we want. We vote for the candidate they provide for us. It's always just two, and more and more the two are virtually indistinguishable. So this time around, it will be Jeb! (CIA daddy) or Hillary (already part of the game). That's just the way it is.
