  1. What voters should be concerned about is the compounded deception within the democratic system. Yes, electronic voting machines are a concern especially when the software is unavailable for an independent audit. Yes, voter fraud by global removal of candidates by name is of concern. BUT there is one thing that overshadows a compromised election process that is far more insidious – voting for two puppets that are controlled by the same Oligarchical structure. I believe George Carlin said it best, “Forget the politicians. The politicians are put there to give you the idea you have freedom of choice. You don't. You have no choice. You have owners. They own you. They own everything. They own all the important land, they own and control the corporations that've long since bought and paid for, the senate, the congress, the state houses, the city halls, they got the judges in their back pocket, and they own all the big media companies so they control just about all of the news and the information you get to hear. They got you by the balls. They spend billions of dollars every year lobbying to get what they want. Well, we know what they want. They want more for themselves and less for everybody else. But I'll tell you what they don't want. They don't want a population of citizens capable of critical thinking. They don't want well informed, well educated people capable of critical thinking. They're not interested in that. That doesn't help them.” Thomas fails to accept the reality so eloquently expressed by George and continues down the road of the “Lesser of two evils”. Why pick the lesser of two evils when both have the same puppet masters. This is not rhetorical; I would like to know why? I would like to ask Thomas what he expects to change when Hillary wins the election. Sure, there may be some temporary reprieve in Neoliberal policy to bribe some of the “Useful Idiots of Empire”, buy in the long term economic hardship and overseas imperial conflict will return as Clinton ramps up the Wall Street mechanisms that support the expanding aggression of Empire and income and wealth inequality.

  2. You are right, there is no immediate solution. The Oligarchs created this structure over centuries. Have you ever wondered why the US flag is so similar to the flag of the British East India Company? Some state historians will tell you it is coincidence but research a little further and you will find the truth. Do you realize that Jamestown was an investment in the New Land by European Oligarchs using the London Company. One thing I will give the Oligarchs; they are transgenerational thinkers. This system was not built in one day and it will not be disassembled in one day. The first step is to recognize the problem and that you have achieved. The next step is far more difficult and time consuming - change the mind of the majority. No one can do this alone; it is a collective responsibility. Notice how the Wall Street shills on YouTube and elsewhere conflate collectivism and communism; this is their strategy of divide and conquer. One needs to create collectives, get involved in politics, and educate others if you want to break the Owners' (Oligarchs') hold over the population. You may not see change; your grandchild may not see change, but it will come. You must admit, Bernie was as close as ever to an honest politician for the people. If we can wake people from the Oligarch's media deception, next time someone like Bernie may win decisively. Sure, the Oligarchs could easily introduce electronic voting nationally and totally corrupt the democratic process, but I doubt that; people are getting too edgy. However, if you back the Oligarchs into a corner, they may switch to a complete Totalitarian Dictatorship, but one has to try. Also, Thomas choosing the lesser of two evils is another tactic upon which the Oligarch's depend to affect their strategy. Now that any credible candidate with a chance of winning has been eliminated, who are you going to vote for Hillary or Trump? If you pick one, the Oligarchs win. I am not saying that you shouldn’t vote in this election because that must eventually be up to the individual and their choice of a world in which they may wish to raise children. Anyway, consider what George Carlin had to say on the topic of voting, “Everybody complains about politicians. Everybody says, “They suck”.But where do people think these politicians come from? They don’t fall out of the sky. They don’t pass through a membrane from another reality. No, they come from American homes, American families, American schools, American churches, American businesses, and they’re elected by American voters. This is the best we can do, folks. It’s what our system produces: Garbage in, garbage out. I have solved this political dilemma in a very direct way: I don’t vote. On Election Day, I stay home. I firmly believe that if you vote, you have no right to complain. Now, some people like to twist that around. They say, “If you don’t vote, you have no right to complain”, but where’s the logic in that? If you vote, and you elect dishonest, incompetent politicians, and they get into office and screw everything up, you are responsible for what they have done. You voted them in. You caused the problem. You have no right to complain. I, on the other hand, who did not vote — who did not even leave the house on Election Day — am in no way responsible for that these politicians have done and have every right to complain about the mess that you created. That I didn’t have anything to do with.”
