We are at war now…. I don’t mean the ones in Afghanistan or Iraq. Our two presidential candidates have initiated multi million dollar campaigns that directly involve thousands of individuals, who, enthusiastically believe their candidate is the man that will save the United States and the World.
Cooperate America will spend untold millions, trying to make their presidential hopeful, have the appearance of one, through divine intervention, placed on earth just to lead us down the “chosen” path. They will spend additional millions trying to make the opposition look like a demon sent by Lucifer himself. One who hates everything we love and cherish. Whose sole purpose on earth is to destroy all mankind.
In reality, it’s not the American people who will make that decision. It is the Electoral College that will make that choice. To the most part, they are people nominated in party conventions and confirmed by state legislators. In short, those in power have a definite advantage.
There have been several attempts to either, do away with this antiquated system, or modify it. None have been successful. Both major parties like it and don’t want it changed or done away with. They don’t have to depend on the fickle, mind changing voter, to elect a President.
It all seems such a waste. Why spend all that money just to give us the illusion our vote means something?
