But where has the whole 'lesser of two evils' mentality gotten us? Especially when the corporate interest groups and elite families are pulling all of the strings anyway regardless of who is in office. When do we take a step back and realize that this political paradigm does not work and is more or less a facade to give the common man the illusion of control?

I don't view it as being apathetic or 'not caring'. When do we collectively decide to stop being conscious contributors to systems that do not work?

I wish people would stop voting. I wish they would stop feeding the whole Democrat vs Republican paradigm, as well as the Left vs. Right / Liberal vs. Conservative paradigm. These outdated ways of thinking & operating have done nothing but create division among the populace, which has effectively disempowered the collective will of the people to evolve and progress.

I'm of the belief that the more that people collectively withdraw themselves from these outdated paradigms that we've been stuck in, the better. Nothing will change when people continue to subscribe to ideology that does not work. Disassociate your conscious energy with that which does not work, open the door to new ideas and ways of thinking that push us in a new direction.
