And most importantly of all, we keep voting theses corporate whores into positions of power and responsibility.

PROVE IT. PROVE that the corporate whores actually got the most votes--particularly in the primaries. (Good luck w/ that.)

Are you suggesting voting figure manipulation or corruption? It would not surprise me and sorry to say it would be a pleasant surprise, because since 2016 my feeling has been has been increasingly that large sections of the voting public knowingly vote for harm to be inflicted on others.

YES--electronic vote-flipping has been going on since 2000, at least--it's what the computers ARE FOR, & WHY the law doesn't allow the public, not even ELECTIONS OFFICIALS, to scrutinize the software those computers run on. Read BLACK BOX VOTING.

Not "we". The last time I voted was for Ron Paul. And before that it was 20 years. Since that it's been another 17. The only thing I ever vote for is against any kind of law or tax that I see is a detriment to my finances or freedom. PERIOD. I wouldn't vote for myself because I know I'd get a puffed up ego which goes with the territory of being a voted in "leader". People have asked me why I don't run for "office". And I said because there shouldn't be an office to run for.
