there is no real politics in the united states as of this time.
politics implies people debating over issues and building support among a population of voters. that is not what is happening. cnn is preventing revolt by explaining things the bribed functionaries do in congress while they act without any regard for the actual citizens and only represent institutions like corporations and other expressions of wealth.
no taxation without representation is the rule, and on every important issue the congress has proved it doesn't represent the people. so you should stop paying your taxes, and your debts, if you really want change.
