because people, like a lot of folks here at DU would rather keep voting the status quo. keep the ruling duopoly in power, when the truth is the difference between the two parties is neglible. they are both beholden to corporate interests before the people's welfare. take a look at the democratic party platform. see if you can find anything about the environment. yeah, it's a big tent - it hasta to be to be fit all the fatass ceos. it's time to shake things up big time, including some radical campaign finance reform, and you're not gonna get any or at the most very few, dems behind that. our election system is broken, and we can't expect the people that got in power because it's broken to fix it.
