According to the writers of South Park (the animated comedy series, in case anybody just dropped in from outer space and doesn't know what South Park is)....
It's because "every election is a choice between a douche bag and a turd sandwich."

To vote between bad and worse is really difficult. The no. 1 thing you need to run for any political campaign in the U.S. is money, without it, no matter how brilliant you are, the candidate would be drowned by someone who has and can raise a lot of money. Why do people give you money to run? Don't those people expect something in return after donating huge sums of money? So what does it make the policitical campaigns : money talks. What choices does an average U. S. voter have?

Can you imagine. Out of 300 million people of all skills and ability we go to the poles to decide on two %&^**#@(*&s.
You have to blame the Constitution for that because it says to run for the office of President one has to be 35 yrs old, and born in America, nothing more and nothing less.
You can be a seventh stage idiot with your head on backwards and you can be elected if the stupid voters vote you in.
Can you imagine, the strongest power in the world reduces 300 million eligible people down to two, who are of no consequence, and we choose them to run for the leadership of that power.
The same is true of our Congress. They also fall in the same category and on the same degree of idiocy as specified by our Constitution.
Question: With that kind of prize being offered, is it worth it to go to the poles?

Voting is like choosing between a punch in the throat or a knee to the groin. Nobody worth more than a pile of my dog's poop has tried to run for office, and if they have they've gotten smothered in, what else, dog poop!

Because no one believes that the Constitution is being served by the elected parties.
