I wish I had something more substantial to say in response to the Obama amnesty.

Instead, I will just say that nothing has changed over the past year: there’s no chance the system will ever be reformed, you are wasting your time voting for the GOP, voting has no impact on policy because politicians do the bidding of billionaire donors and their armies of lobbyists, and even if you are successful in passing some law or ballot initiative, you can be sure that a federal judge will be found to strike it down on a whim, or the president will ignore it and do whatever he wants to do.

If you want to have a “voice” in this system, then you need to get out in the streets and start creating the sort of massive “unrest” that is commonplace in foreign countries. Similar governments that maintain a “democratic” facade lose legitimacy and fall when faced with this type of street pressure all the time.
