"I mean, hell, even the great 2008 election for change didn't change much. What are the options left?"

How about not voting for the people who do these things? Like this guy:

Or this lady:

Or any of these people:

Don't be a coward and vote for the lesser of two evils. The lesser of two evils is still evil. Vote third party until the major parties get their act together; that sends them a message, loud and clear, that you are not too lazy to vote and that they are failing to do the things that would be needed to get your support.
