30. I don't know, if it makes a difference..
I'm pretty much sure that the democrats would have invaded Iraq, too. It might have even become worse with the support of Europe...

Change your perspective: what if those Americans helped Bush in office, who did simply vote for the democrats instead of asking themselves, why the majority of the people, who could vote, don't vote anymore and don't care if the democrats or the republicans represent corporate interests against them? And this is going on for decades. If the people would not have allowed the DLC to take over the Democrats and replace participation and representation of the people and party members and voters with PR-agencies and advertising, to manipulate people, maybe Bush would not have become possible?


For me, it's not a kind of "religion", if people vote or don't vote.
But it's much more important that corporations are completely removed from power and cannot determine our lives and our parliaments anymore. The privatisation of politics has to be reversed.
