Greetings good citizen, in VIVID testament to just how STUPID the corporate owned media AND THE COWARDS THAT WORK FOR THEM [is that gonna leave a mark? did you DESERVE THAT? Oh yeah!] believe you are.
NOT ONE of them has put forth the idea that this nonsense WON'T STOP until WE DO!
[Now you're scratching your head...WTF is that supposed to mean? Stop doing what?]
YOU will NOT get a 'better deal' [or even the opportunity to change ANYTHING] UNTIL YOU stop participating in their 'fixed' elections!
What's this, did this guy drink too much Trump Kool-Aid? HE's the one claiming the elections are 'fixed'!
STOP! Look at 'the process'. YOU decide you want to take papers out to be President. Challenge number one that nobody tells you is you have to do this in all fifty states or you're name WON'T APPEAR on the ballot in the states you don't file nomination papers in!
So you need a 'well funded' political machine to go out in each state and gather [I believe the 'average' number is 100 registered voter signatures JUST TO GET ON THE BALLOT.]
Understand good citizen, there are HUNDREDS of candidates for President EVERY ELECTION CYCLE but 99% of 'em never get on the ballot on more than their own state! [Don't have a breakdown of who gets on how many balots although I'm sure the data is out there if you want to track it down.
So there we have 'obstacle A' to the lie of 'anyone' can become president!
Why not 'once & done?'
BECAUSE then we'd have EVERYONE running for president EVERY election cycle!
SO the 'fixers' would cite the 'practicality' of not 'muddying the waters' any more than they already are.
Who is shut out by this, er, 'complication'?
Everyone who 'can't afford' a political machine capable of deploying a national effort.
So what are the odds of ANYONE 'like you' will EVER become POTUS?
Can you say ZIP? You have a better chance of personally meeting 'Spirit in the Sky' than you do of ever becoming POTUS!
[Which is why TV Land's latest exercise in 'mental masturbation' is some political junkie 'accidentally' becoming POTUS when the line of succession gets what's coming to them when a bomb goes off at an Inaugeral Ball somewhere.]
EVEN THOSE GUYS are 'hand picked' from the ranks of the One Percent so Keifer's highly unlikely role has little basis in reality.
How much you want to bet if we were to turn back time to the days of the THREE Major networks, the show would be cancelled in it's first four episodes? I mean, there's fiction then there's this tripe.
But let us soldier on, shall we, just because you can't get your name on the ballot in all fifty states doesn't make the election process 'fixed'...or does it?
Let's return to our decision to make a run at the Oval Office. Where do you begin? You were raised to be a good [whatever your parents were] so odds are you'd start there. If you're going to run on 'the values' you were raised with it only makes sense to run as the candidate for the party you feel the strongest affinity for!
So you go to the R/DNC and present yourself.
After they humiliate you by laughing in your face and calling security to have you escorted out of the building it dawns on you that you probably skipped a couple of steps in the process.
You have to start with your 'state' political organization [because if you can't convince them you're a 'viable candidate' you're dead in the water.]
Have I made it CLEAR yet? There will NEVER be ANYONE EVEN REMOTELY 'like you' in the White House as long as our political process is controlled by [FUNNY] MONEY!
Notice how I bolded 'party' above, that's another piece of the 'rigging'...if we are all in this together, what's this party BS all about?
Bueller? Anyone? Bueller?
Because if we suppose that they 'allowed' you to run as an 'independent' you'd still be paralyzed by not having a 'majority' in...well, ANY house of congress.
So if we 'back it off' a notch and set out sights on running for statewide office what would we find?
Well, you now have the 'once and done working for you and you could even get your name on the ballot without first spending a fortune!
But now we run afoul of the 'Party apparatus' [which is 'chained' to the national organization...they need 'National Approval' before you can be given the 'party nod' to run as the 'Party Representative' for YOUR STATE.
You may be willing to sign off on adhering to the Party Platform you will have had no hand in crafting...which is why ordinary people HATE your [actually both] Party (s) but we're still screwing around with a 'popularity contest here and if you don't have even a tiny 'claim to fame' [like the current POTUS who was a former model!]
If you wouldn't be a contender in a beauty competition then it is unlikely you will fare well against your younger, 'better looking' competitors.
Hey, wait a minute? Isn't this a competition of ideas?
Of course not...in fact, YOUR ideas had best be kept to yourself, you'll run on the issues they tell you to run on or you can pay for the whole thing out of pocket yourself!
Isn't this what's bugging you about the current election cycle? Could the candidates be more OUT OF TOUCH?
That's because they aren't running on the issues that matter to YOU! They're campaiging on a platform designed by the One Percent!
But the 'elections' aren't 'fixed'...oh no.
Let's look at the facts, shall we?
Where is the 'traditional' President in waiting?
Mr. Biden [who has been Vice President for the past eight years and a candidate in the two election cycles prior to becoming Veep] Didn't even enter the race, where he would have been a 'natural choice'...no reason given.
Then there's our Stalking Horse Bernie Sanders who mounted an 'independent' campaign but ran as a democrat! So when he finally got to the convention he folded up like a cheap tent [and has been campaigning for his opponent ever since.]
Now one thing we can all agree on, the media LIES TO US routinely...about EVERYTHING!
There are also the 'lies of omission' where issues important to the regular consumer are 'studiously avoided'...like nobody would CARE about judges handing out hall passes [refusing to prosecute] killer cops on the grounds they had to 'work with these people' on a daily basis.
If that doesn't stop you in your tracks then the whole situation is farther gone than any of us imagines! [And most of us 'stuck a fork in it' a LOOOOONG time ago!]
But I prattle, time to get busy good citizen!
If you haven't already, DON'T VOTE [Local ballot issues, our only arena of 'direct democracy' are permissible, I am going to the polls to vote on the ballot questions but I'm leaving the choice of 'lesser ratfink' blank!
And so should you...
Thank you for letting me inside your head,
