Drawing hard party lines keeps people distracted as to the reality that all politicians, at least once they reach a certain status, are all working for the same agenda when it comes down to it. They all have the same basic policies, they just word them differently. They all make the same empty promises that will either never be fulfilled, or will fall drastically short of their intent. The real goal is to keep people just informed enough to feel justified in their political stance, while keeping them uninformed as to the actual goings on of politicians and their motives. Its all a mind game that the every day man will continue to lose. Its the way its always been. Nothing will change it for the better.

[sarcasm]You are completely right. None of these movements produced any change. We hold the same exact rights we had during the dark ages. Nothing has changed and there is nothing anyone can do about a few bullies with a lot of money and power even though we outnumber them 99-1. Nothing will ever change. Woe is me.[/sarcasm]
Apathy will get you no where and your attitude is almost as harmful as the greed that fuels the current paradigm.
