Why I love/hate this country (at times)

I am a Democrat, and I work, live near, and listen to rabid Republicans. They ask me how I am going to vote, they wait in line with me to vote, they vote right along side me. I don't have to reveal who I am voting for or why to anyone, and for that I love this country. It makes me feel like I have an independence, non-forced opinion that this country cares about.

But, to put it quick simply, I live in a state that has been dominated by one party, and my vote is therefore shit because of the winner-take-all system that we use to elect presidents. And I hate this.
