For better or worse, with the electoral college it is a vote for the lesser of two evils. Period.

The point is that if people really wanted change, they would vote for it. Obama was right. The reason the political process doesn't work is because half the country doesn't give a crap.
Canada doesn't have the best system to vote in our PM either, but we don't have crazies running for office.
