Hope mongering has been working much better than experience mongering.  Now, the rest of the story....

As befits American culture, politics is all about slick selling to the masses.  Hillary Clinton is selling Day-1 help to victims and sufferers.  Barack Obama is selling effervescent hope to yes-we-can dreamers.  This media hyped horse race is like a fight between diet Coke and diet Pepsi, artificially sweetened candidates devoid of real nourishment.

America's political system is a large and complex criminal conspiracy.  Most voters enable it without benefiting from it.  Voting is a ploy of the two-party power elites to keep the population docile, delusional and duped.  Our government has been hijacked in plain sight, despite elections.  We cannot get it back by voting.  All the main candidates are part of the conspiracy.  Voting only encourages them.  In our fake democracy corrupt politicians use doses of voting as a political narcotic.  We must free more Americans of the addiction.  Otherwise they will keep hallucinating that some Democratic or Republican President or controlled Congress will actually give us the changes we crave for.

After many years of political disappointment, more progressives, liberals and conservatives - and certainly moderates and independents - know in their hearts that voting for Democrats or Republicans is a waste.  Just imagine if voter turnout was cut to 25 percent or less!  Let the whole world see Americans boycotting a broken and corrupt political system and rejecting what has become a delusional democracy.  To keep voting in an unjust political system makes us willing political slaves that the rich and powerful elites exploit.

All over the Internet are sincere efforts to reform and improve America's political-government system.  The downside is fragmentation of the subpopulation that has escaped brainwashing, cultural distraction, and self-delusion.  Strategy solidarity is missing, but is possible.
