Does it make a difference at the end of the day who you vote for because at the end of the day whatever party gets in will just do their best anyway.
Maybe voting should be called betting,vote for whoever you think is going to win the election because if the guy you voted for is on the winning side then you can expect more funding for your area.

Right?wrong?indifferent?

The winning party will, in fact, "do their best". But that means vastly different things to the people you are voting for. Hillary will "do her best" to impose "social democracy" on America and sweep the terror threat under the rug until some jihadist comes and lops her head off.

Problem is that in a two party system where it takes a super majority to get anything done, the minority party can block most things from happening.
As for the President, either party will do, like you question suggests, yet a lot will be blocked if the house and senate are in a stalemate.
A solid third party is the answer.
Vote for a third party and send a message.

It does. Maybe when you don't know your local candidate it might be a betting. But when you are voting on a national level you make sure you vote lesser of two evil. I mean it is next to impossible for an honest person to run for an office that matters. Not being negative just being realistic. So if you vote for the lesser of two evil for next election you may find even lesser evil to vote for. just hope for the best.

Yes and no.
It makes a difference because politicians of different parties will do different things as side-effects of their goal to accumulate political power and remain in office. So, it matters in the sense that different people produce different side-effects.
But it doesn't matter in that most of the politicians who end up getting elected care more about their careers than their constituents.

We put too much power into the federal governments hands via taxation.
They have the money and thus they have the power.
We have to shift the taxes back to the local governments and thus we would have more sway with them.

see my question posted just above. I think there is not responsive legislators because they have all been there forever and have firm belief in their permancy.
