Tis the season of politics, starting early and earlier with each election.

Just a short comment.  Your vote does count, but you have no control over who you will eventually be voting for.  That fabled ‘1%’ will make that decision for you and determine you options.

I read in the Washington Post on 8/1/15, that more than 50 individuals and entities (?) have given at least one million dollars apiece to super PACs, backing specific candidates.  Nearly half given to a group aligned with Jeb Bush.

So your vote counts, but what filters down to ‘our level’ is predetermined by money.
