I used to be way more involved in politics. I was even an alternate delegate at the RNC for Ron Paul (my husband was a delegate). That was an eye opening event to see how utterly corrupt the politics are and how undemocratic things really work. They literally had the results of the voice vote on the teleprompter to make sure they got the "right" answer and not necessarily what the delegates voted for. They turned off the microphones in the areas with Ron Paul delegates and the main group opposing the rule changes that stole power from the delegates was driven around town on a bus for hours to make sure he missed the vote. In the rule change vote, they didn't tell the delegates that they were voting to approve letting the executive committee make decisions without the, they just said it was a vote to approve what the committee suggested. They refused to allow calls for division that would've forced a counted vote. It was sickening.

Of course the DNC is even worse. I'm coming to the conclusion that America is doomed.
