Oh yeah...I have felt lonely at the polls many times...
I gripe about the disaster of a presidential administration that was voted in and wonder why so many people lost their effin minds....
but the truth is -- I vote in many more elections that affect peoples' everyday lives much more than the people in Washington. No one comes out to vote in local contests...for municipal, county and board of education type elections.
It really makes me wonder what would happen if we had full voter participation.
I am not sure who would have the power, but I do believe that those elected would feel the need to be more accountable to the people.
