It's like watching the NFL and getting hyped when a referee throws a penalty flag.

  1. It's entirely subjective (the ref can do whatever he wants, so long as the other refs agree).
  2. You had no influence in the decision.
  3. No influence in the outcome.
  4. Both teams are owned by the same people.
  5. And finally, this is all over a game which was made up, and is in the hands of other people.

And yet, you still get pissed off about the outcome. Why?

Power doesn't come from political theater. You are doing exactly as you are being told: "get upset over a symptom, ignore the disease".

I care about elections because it is another reminder of how they control the system. So yeah, I get a little pissed when I see the blatant fraud and how they rub our noses in it and there ain’t shit we can do about it.

The problem is the people that can do something about it are paid by the people committing the fraud in campaign donations.
