Secular Café: How has the American voter evolved?

How has the American voter evolved? Apr 6th 2013, 07:25 Let me begin by saying that I have no political affiliation. I voted for Gary Johnson last election, but that was based on the fact that I didn't like either of the mainstream Dem or Rep candidates. Since I started voting in 1984, the only time I voted Dem or Rep was for the second term of Ronald Reagan (God bless his soul...and I mean that figuratively). It seems to me that every election people want change, so they vote out the Democrat for a Republican, then they vote out the Republican for a Democrat, then they vote out the Democrat for a Republican. It seems to be an ever revolving door of the same girl in a different dress. So could some one please enlighten me as to what I am missing here. Why do voters think things will change as long as we have a two-party process? I don't see the difference. Shouldn't all candidates be allowed on the ballot? It seems to me the Electoral College makes your vote null and void if you did not vote for the winner. If you live in a Democratic state, your Republican vote doesn't even count, and vice versa. Is this fair? Is our democratic process evolving or regressing?
