Well it's that time again. Time for everyone to spend a year and a half pouring mountains of mental energy into arguing about who should be the next President of the United States of America.

Friendships will be shattered. Family dinners will be ruined. Social media activists will lose themselves in weeks-long flame wars. And, when all is said and done, the person sworn into office on January 2024 will oversee an administration which governs in more or less the same way as their predecessors.

As Tom Woods put it, no matter who you vote for, you get John McCain.

Hat tip to @Ex-Redditor on this one. I came across it when I clicked on another post he shared by the same author.

If a building is on fire and everyone's pushing on a fake door that's painted on the wall, that doesn't mean it's impossible to escape the building, but it does mean they need to stop pushing on the fake door and start looking for real exits if they're going to get out.

Quotable.

Despite all the "election reform" groups and millions of dollars poured into the cause, no significant changes have occurred. The underlying structure hasn't been touched - If anything, it's been strengthened through recent "cyber security" measures.

Find a axe

At this point we need more than axe. We need a battering ram and the people to wield it. We are not uniting effectively against these "people."

As far as elections, most of the "reformers" are complicit or ignorant - and, given the years and millions in donations these groups have received, I consider their ignorance to be complicity.

Not enough people realize the building is on fire.

True - although the numbers are steadily increasing.
