two-party-system

And it started out fun. We were chattering enthusiastically, flipping between CNN, MSNBC, and FOX News. But as the evening wore on, and the numbers rolled in, it got quieter, and I found myself becoming intensely depressed. Why was I putting myself through this? The issues I__e devoted my life to have become so marginalized by the coverage that they have no possible relevance to me. I can__ even blame the media _ people simply don__ care about alternate-party politics. And why should they? I__ so far in the minority that my activism is a joke, a punchline that stopped being funny years ago. It goes beyond rooting for the underdog. It__ not rooting for the Giants: it__ more like, say, rooting for the Twins. But during the Super Bowl.
