    Less faith in government means less participation which in turn gives even more power to the elites.

    Some people might react that way, many will decide that government shouldn't have so much power if it can't be trusted.

    USG don't derive power from our participation, that's just magic talk and make believe. America's elites mostly gain power by fraud and by force, which most Americans go along with, so long as USG deliver on the "free" stuff. The ballot-box is just a smokescreen of legitimacy, or lipstick on a pig.

    Now, if there was an opposition government, elections could matter again.

Start with your friends, family, local community and work your way out. All long term solutions to our problems must come from the local people themselves. If the people don't know better, teach them.
    I have come to the conclusion that people don't want to be taught about liberty, it is something they have to learn for themselves when they are ready because of circumstances in their own life.

    I am a libertarian. I am advocating everyone enjoy maximum freedom on both personal and economic issues as long as they do not bring violence unto others.

    False. Power is not changed by less people voting. Power is not changed by petitions or strongly worded letters of protest. The people in our federal do what they want regardless of law, voting, faith, etc.

    Can you remember one instance of politicians getting in trouble with the law since Abscam?

    Power in DC is immune to the level of faith from the voters.

    ...the $mokescreen will dissipate nearly precisely in proportion to the rate at which the republicrat-voting fools quit legitimizing these republicrat inc. bankster-puppet monetary ignoramuses, warmongers, etc., with their 'votes/affirmation'...

    ...btw, i believe you will find there has NEVER been any honest, thoughtful 'opposition' to the bank$ter-puppet-government...you and/or i have SURELY never seen it...

    The people in these forums against Donald Trump support term limits. Career politicians will never vote for term limits. The only thing that can be done is to make career politicians unmarketable and that is done by electing non politicians to office. They refuse to evolve. These same people want to do the same things and expect different results such as voting third party. Even if someone doesn't like Donald Trump, he got the ball rolling as far as getting rid of career politicians and yes the country will be far better off in the long run without career politicians.

    Disagree.

    The less "average Americans" participate in government, the better.

    If I had my way, 90 percent of idiot Amerika would not be allowed within 100 yards of a voting booth.

    Exactly, it makes me mad when I see the "non partisan" get out the vote drives, getting more random idiots who are so disengaged that they weren't going to vote to vote and dilute the influence of those who know and care about the issues is evil.
