How can they be responsible? First, voters for the most part are ignorant... they mostly vote the same as their mommies told them. Second, they're given a hand-picked choice between a Giant Douche and a Turd Sandwich. What would you expect?
Until 1988 I did not vote. Couldn't have cared less about voting or much of anything else. Called myself a democrat but only because I hated Nixon and liberal chicks were more fun at the time. Lost years for me. Probably should have died a dozen times. Felt like dying a thousand times. Tragic story, blah, blah. 1988- Bush 1992- Perot 1996 - Perot even though he withdrew 2000- Buchanan even though he withdrew 2004 - Did not vote 2008 - Paul even though he withdrew 2012 - Wasted a vote on Romney in the hope he could beat Obama, who by far is the worst thing to have ever happened to this country. Last gasp. 2016 - Isn't anyone making me warm and fuzzy. Country is pretty much lost at this point regardless.
