If American politics does not look to you like a joke
“If American politics does not look to you like a joke, a tragic dance; if you have enough blindness left in you, on any plea, on any excuse, to vote for the Democratic Party or the Republican Party (for at present machine and party are one)or for any candidate who does not stand for a new era, / then you yourself pass into the slide of the magic-lantern; you are an exhibit, a quaint product, a curiosity of the American soil. You are part of the problem.” - John Jay Chapman (1900)

2. So you're not going to vote any more..
Because of something John Jay Chapman said 110 years ago?

3. I don't vote.
It's a sham.
