Why do we play this game?

This game of politics in the U.S. merely distracts us. It's become a national sport for people who fancy themselves smarter than the average. Arguing between ourselves when it's patently obvious that both parties have been bought gets us nowhere. You can vote however you want, but the same people still call the shots and write the bills. See through this false dichotomy of democrat and republican and demand some real choices in government.
