The sad state of politics in this country is so beyond repair. It’s telling how disillusioned our generation is with the two parties and each of their candidates. People are slowly recognizing that the illusion of choice is just that: an illusion, and we are tired of being fed bottom-of-the-barrel politicians who simply say what people want to hear, make claims they never intend to keep, and are only in the running because they have the money to fund their campaign/advertising efforts. I hope the American people are finally understanding that the wealthiest candidate has a statistically much better chance of winning office than those who are less wealthy.
Furthermore, imagine how many problems we could solve or abate by directing all the campaign funds to providing clean water, food, education, dental care, health care, etc for people. Instead, we squander those same funds for TV time and billboards. What a waste. It’s a rampant and systematized misallocation of resources. To wit: https://www.opensecrets.org/orgs/list.php
As it has been for many decades, America is a country of the lobbyists, by the corporate lobbyists, for the corporations. The fact that US citizens continue to take our country’s political machinations seriously is evidence of just how deeply misled and/or oblivious we all are of reality.
I cannot and will not buy into a system that is rigged in such a way and funded via de facto bribes via lobbyists and that’s why I too will not vote in November. “Mickey Mouse for President! He’s just as arbitrary as the other current candidates.” Regardless the established system has very powerful entities that are incentivized to keep their power intact. That is why change will not happen under such a system. That is why we will all be (or should be) disappointed in November. Womp womp.
