Democracy 2.0

A great way to start my rant is to get the word "bullshit" out of my system! Politics is just that, bullshit! No matter how much we stay informed as a whole we will never know the undivided truths of these candidates. Some of these candidates are great people but are just not fit enough to run a country, but that doesn't matter, its popularity and money, that's what buys presidents. I just love the definition of democracy,a system of government by the whole population or all the eligible members of a state, typically through elected representatives. But is it still this? Or is it just what the governemnt is telling us to buy into. We the people make all the decsions for this country but do we really? or is it just a defined group in the politicans pockets that control whats really going on. I just want to know...
