Nope. They will break things more all while creating some distracting, unimportant, yet polarizing new issue.
Divide and conquer... divide and conquer.
No, they are all full of complete shit pandering to dumb people who think their votes matter. Thanks to the electoral college our votes don't key and peel did a spot on scketch about it.
Here's a crappy YouTube vid of it http://youtu.be/PjmBU3Hu9vk

No, but Sanders is one step in the right direction. Hillary is the "republican" now, Sanders is the "democrat". After sanders, perhaps there will be a candidate from an other party.

Nope. And don't vote the next time. It's the only way you actually can voice you'r discontent with these corrupted faggot slaves of the Rotschild's.

I have faith in Bernie Sanders. If he wins, I think that it could lead to a shift in priorities from wars halfway around the fucking world to more domestic problems, problems more dire than muslim extremists murdering hundreds of other muslims in the middle east and occasionally killing dozens of US citizens (each lost life is tragic, don't get me wrong. But muslim extremists are less of a threat to US citizens than drunk drivers. Less of a threat than the cartes are).
But yeah, I'm with /u/mgwerner, the government needs a large overhaul.

Neither.
I think the primary issue is that most politicians are there to get/keep money. I propose that politicians and their immediate families be forced to live at (and also guaranteed) double the median household income of the united states while they are serving and for ten years after. (but I know this is unrealistic)
Secondly, campaign finance reform. There should be spending limits on campaigns. I also think it wouldn't hurt to have an official department to collect the official political stances, ideas, and platforms of any and all candidates.
Third, voting reform. This would loosen both parties' stranglehold on the proposal of new law.
-Primaries are unnecessary and promote divisive ideas that have gridlocked congress. If we would use approval voting or range voting, we could have six candidates all running against each other simultaneously and without confusion or worry about "throwing away" a vote, since your vote carries your opinion of every candidate instead of just one.
-Districts should be redrawn to something unbiased.
-I don't see the point of the electoral college. A popular vote should be just fine for the presidential race.

A single person is not going to be able to fix anything. If we want to see changes happen, then the people will need to act together. It doesn't matter if you are democrat or republican, capitalist, or communist, you must make a value judgement based on what you believe to be good, or fair, and stick to it. Contact representatives, write corporations, standup for what you believe. No one will be able to tackle this alone.
