Democracy doesn't exist in america for a simple fact:
Democracy only works when the system in which it is applied maintains equality. Money is power. You cannot dispute this. You cannot logically argue that in capitalist society the billionaire with a jet, 10 houses, and a huge stock portfolio is equally as powerful as someone living under a bridge, or even a middle class worker.
Why is this significant?
Because although in theory the man under the bridge has the power to "change everything by voting or becoming a politician", he is considered worth very little. In capitalist society EVERYTHING is for sale. Name something that isn't for sale, and you may have stumbled upon a new resource to exploit for profit. Because EVERYTHING IS FOR SALE, this makes elections for sale as well. We all know that you need millions of dollars campaign anyway, but for a few more million you can buy the election outright.
How?
Research Diebold voting machines. Here, I'll do it for you: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ey2TrJvtGN8

There more. http://www.bbvforums.org/forums/messages/1954/78061.html?1224072399

and many others.
Who is doing this?
Companies like Diebold Corporation who recently just changed their name to "Premier Voting Solutions" because of all the bad press about their [intentional] fuck ups.
The head of Diebold just happens to be a devout Bush loyalist who gave bush generous "donations" exceeding $1,000,000 during bush's past "elections".
"In August 2003, Walden O'Dell, chief executive of Diebold, announced that he had been a top fund-raiser for President George W. Bush and had sent a get-out-the-funds letter to Ohio Republicans. In the letters he says he is "committed to helping Ohio deliver its electoral votes to the president next year." Although he clarified his statement as merely a poor choice of words, critics of Diebold and/or the Republican party interpreted this as at minimum an indication of a conflict of interest, at worst implying a risk to the fair counting of ballots. "
All of this forms together to form a big picture of voting fraud and deceit. Your vote doesn't count. It's fake. It's all a charade. Don't be fooled by the hype of this fake democracy.
