Voting is meaningless.

The only saving grace is the ongoing dysfunctional pattern in our country.

The GOP comes into office and robs the country blind, empties the US piggy bank.
They drive their limos up to the US treasury.
Take a wrecking ball to the country.

Then the GOP lets the Dems back into office so they can do clean up on aisle 16.
Fill up the piggy bank and repair all the damage.

So the cycle can start all over again.
