Listen to a reading of this article (reading by Tim Foley): People keep asking me to weigh in on the US presidential race and its candidates, which is what always happens whenever there’s a US presidential race on because media saturation makes it so central in the minds of Americans it’s often the main issue they want to talk about, even if they’re fairly aware.
I'm pretty shocked that anyone here is still pushing the quaint and idealistic view that our votes are counted in the US. They aren't. They can keep track of the tiniest little thing, but can't count votes. Since 2000 when our vote tabulations we're all done on computer, computers that could be hacked by smart 10-year olds, voting ceased to be real. SO STOP ALREADY. The old joke is "if voting could change anything it would be illegal". Now it doesn't have to be illegal, it's simply fiction. Case in point: 2016 and Jill Stein of the GP was actually relatively popular. There were so many counties where people voted for her, but the county totals for Stein were zero. Yes zero. So right there we know that Stein's votes were simply deleted and handed to (most likely) lovely Hillary. Doesn't matter because your votes aren't counted. It's all fiction. STOP WASTING YOUR TIME AND ENERGY ON THIS STUPID SHIT.
Perhaps Glen Greenwald's nightly show on rumble can help, "Neocon Monster: The Ruinous Lies & Crimes of Bill Kristol, Now a Major Foreign Policy Thought-Leader in the Democratic Party | SYSTEM UPDATE #102" He emphatically states that Bill Kristol and other neocons have aligned themselves with the democratic party, and refers to them as monsters, since they push death and destruction and have been very instrumental in doing so in our middle eastern wars and now in Ukraine and will continue to do so.
Question #16: Why is it that every US elected official that represents the American populace is a criminal, corrupt POS, incompetent idiot, nation divider, a negative detriment to society and a greedy scumbag?
The systems we have currently are tailor-made for psychopaths to rise to power and prominence. Anyone who desires power and control should never be given power and control. Since that is a fundamental truth, anyone who actually wants to run for office is immediately a bad choice. Are there a few who actually want to do some good? Sure, but I do not see them as anything other than a small minority. The system has become hopelessly corrupt and the logical conclusion of the current trajectory is a return to feudalism with a select few on the top and everyone else living hand to mouth asking the select few for permission to live. If the courts had actually protected and enforced the Constitution and the ideas it contains we wouldn't be here, but we are. As we see in Ireland, TPTB are quickly working to make speaking ill of government policies a "hate" crime. Coming to a country near you. There's no voting out of this mess.
it's simple, nice americans should vote for cornel west or any other 3rd party candidate. it won't help, he won't win, but at least it's a possibility to count those that don't agree with the duopoly. when you don't vote, they'll rightfully consider that as consent, which it is.
Indiscriminate murder of non US citizens around the world while claiming moral superiority will end with all US citizens being blamed not just those initiating these policies of war and domination.
Brilliant set of questions. Should have been accompanied by a repeat share of that picture of the two big brothers who've given the little brother the unplugged game controller so he can "play" too.
Also, why did I know the comments would be filled with people arguing for their particular candidate. Almost like they did not read the post.
All 15 questions can be answered by accepting two things. The public is easily manipulated and bureaucrats are in charge and Fauci is their poster child. Even Putin knows this.
Wow, a lot of negativity about voting, and I get it. But I do not believe that we should stop. It feels like that is exactly what they want. We absolutely need to make our voices heard even though all the while they are trying to silence us. Or more to the point, do not submit to their game.
Nice post, but here's the problem: the defining feature of American culture is to never ask yourself any questions, and if they keep raising themselves, well squelch them. Don't try to know anything, and if anyone knows squelch them.
Isaac Aasimov caught on to this a long while ago, when he noted:
“...There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge...”
So that there is one big reason why things have gone wrong for so long over there. Like for several hundred years now. And why their politics is what it is: a gregarious race to the bottom of the barrel.
Hear, Hear!
Now to remind ourselves of this every time we want to engage a conversation about candidates.
I'm particularly thinking of the "left" media when they start talking about it. It simply does not matter who is elected.
The only way out of this mess is to stop making these people, this system important.
Stop voting and offering your support to a broken and corrupt system.
Stop making it our "Authority."
All great questions. Now watch how in this particular forum RFK Jr. fanbois spring to life maintaining with him it will be different.

39% of eligible American voters did NOT vote in the last Presidential election (even with all the fraudulent votes "cast").
I think about 1/2 of Americans realize that voting is pointless.

Over the past few months I've known of a few ways to help others question their assumptions on voting but this list definitely helps.
Thank you. The day is coming when I'm asked by my friends and family who I'm voting for and I'll need to break it to them.

And - those of us who are well aware of the answers to those questions are likely considered to be domestic terrorists.
