Right that. Indirect influence, but no 'voting' and no real democracy - however you define that:

A general voting system that leads to a two party system where half the people are voting against a candidate instead of for a candidate. (See: all the people who are voting for Romney solely because they don't like Obama)

Yes, same here. Two sides of one coin, but no real alternative

Oh and not to mention just the absolutely terrible choices of politicians you have in general.

Well this sums it up pretty well
But i like August's quote
"Public business must always be done by somebody. It will be done by somebody or other. If wise men decline, others will not; if honest men refuse it, others will not." - John Adams
Problem is no one with a decent mind and common sense would like to do such 'work' and be a politician.
