Did we though?
Did we really get ourselves into this mess when the only people who ran were on opposite ends?
Did we get ourselves in this mess when there were no middle-of-the-road politicians who ran for us to vote for?
Did we get ourselves into this mess when we have no control over the privatized media outlets who have their own agendas on what they want the general public to believe?
Did we get ourselves into this mess when the top 1-ish% of the country controls the 90-ish%?
Did we truly get ourselves into this mess or are we just playing a game that we don't really have much control over?
Thanks for your vote of confidence though. Btw, I voted for neither in the primaries.
