We have gridlock because the people to whom this matters the most do not vote.
​
They do not vote, because the politicians take them for granted.

I know people that are vocal about wanting Microsoft to die, and yet they own everything Microsoft.
I'm using linux to write this post.

As for the dems - I don't like them at all. They seem to have cornered the market on bungling incompetence. Yet I usually vote for them, because the Republicans are completely unfit to govern.

Re: ballot initiatives to move forward on issues around politicians
Which version?
Opensuse 13.2 (hot off the press).
​
So what do you think about using ballot initiatives to get the issues to the public for direct votes?
It's just another way for corporate dollars to buy influence.

Oh, so they don't really want what they say they want?
When they carry placards "keep the government's hands off my medicare", then no, they really don't know what they are talking about.
