Many of us hate what we have, but most of the time, we're not really empowered to make any really changes. Like take for example, we all know, Constitutionally, a president cannot declare war... but... it happens and has been happening for ~40 years. How do you fight something like that? And the only politicians who call it like is are marginalized (Ron Paul) and people don't feel voting for them is worth it.

Do you have to vote Green and forget the democrats and republicans?

Voting Green is seen as
wasting your vote. If it was clear voting for the Green Party is actually a smart strategy, people would do it. And last midterm elections, people did (with victories, in some cases) on the local and state levels.
Overall, very positive thread.
