15. Oh, I can certainly see that. It is clear to me that, while campaigning is, in our fucked-up

system, kind of completely disassociated from what the elected does when they win, the internet has let us know in great detail what
really happens when everyone gets to Washington and The Lobbyists and The Donors who are not only Owed bur have to have their asses kissed and their desires legislated in order for the elected to be able to run in the next election. Starts the first day of a new term. And here we are, foolishly waving banners and sticking signs in our lawns and putting our teams' bumper stickers on our cars, sending in our pittances, and hanging on every word of campaign blather. Then they get to Washington and Monsanto or Jamie Dimon or their whip tells them what they are actually going to vote for, what bills are actually going to be permitted to get to the floor.

And then, of course, some horse's asses bray that why doesn't your favorite senator DO something instead of just talking about it. As if one senator or Representative can buck the whole corrupt system. As if Reid or Boehner or Pelosi or McConnell or Obama or Dimon or the Kochs or Monsanto have not already decided things.
