I have to partially disagree with this guy, 'shut it down' is a simplistic, dangerous, non-workable solution that leaves these unconscionable laws in place.
'If you don't vote against this, you will loose my vote and those of all who agree with me that you are not doing the job we gave you. That is in the 90% range of voters. We will be watching your voting record and you will be held accountable for once.' would be a better argument (but only if we all follow through).
The only thing that most politicians are worried about is remaining politicians, and we, the voters, are in control of that. If enough people will stop voting 'against' someone and instead voting FOR a decent candidate, we could get some decent representation. As long as the 2 major parties can convince voters to fight amongst each other and get them to vote for one feckless and feculent candidate out of fear of the other, we've all lost.

It's demoralizing and drags you back to reality to look in the face of those you've betrayed.

I am this American, (figuratively) but my rage at this country is so great that I have to leave, because staying is no longer an option at this point. Rage solves nothing, and I'm completely beyond the point of rational discourse. It sucks. It all sucks.

Couldn't agree more. I'm so exasperated by the corruption that has pervaded and affected absolutely everything with power in the western world, and it's trickled down from the very very top.

If we as a species are able to survive past this tricky time period, i think history will look back on this era as very, very dark days indeed, on par with medieval nobility living the high-life whilst the paupers die in the streets.

The politicians, the empowered (the "nobility" if you like) are living in luxury, selling off public assets to their friends, changing laws to suit their benefactors, and doing everything they can to keep that as the status quo. Meanwhile, the elderly and infirm are literally freezing and starving to death in council funded houses because they had their home reposessed due to the having to pay exorbitant bills so that the people who run the energy companies can get a 3 million pound bonus that year.

I wish i was exaggerating. It's fucking real, and no one around me seems to care, and i am so confused and scared by that fact that i don't know what to do about it anymore.

The Revolution is definitely coming and I'll be there day one.

You do mean, "The Revolution", that new open-world, sandbox video game coming out at the holidays?

Yeah, that looks totally bloody and realistic. Too bad it's a console exclusive. That's cool though because I just got my tablet PC and there's so many games and movies on there I spend like 6 hours a day just getting through the free stuff. It's like almost another full time job just getting through my entertainment library!!!!

Wait! Sometimes the government just gets me SOOO angry!

Holy cow! Speaking of, has anyone been watching shark week? What is up with Animal Planet and their fake Megalodon documentary? That channel used to be totally awesome for vegging out and watching educational programming.

Speaking of....MARIJUANA IS LEGAL IN MY STATE!!! Woohoooo! I can't believe it's taken this long for people to come to their senses...

Wait, what were we talking about? Recording stuff.

TOTALLY!!! My new cable DVR holds so many hours of HD recording it's insane! I've got, like, every CSI episode broadcast since March on there and still only 1/3 full.

....

Revolution maybe, public uprising in the US? ...never.
