Sometimes, I absolutely agree that the system is us and that
we have the government that we deserve. Well not the one that I deserve, but one that the rest of you clowns deserve. (I kid.)
But, sometimes, I think that making us think that we have something to do with who ends up in office in just one more part of the dishonest system And even if we do have something to do who ends up in office, it's very little.
As i said, I vacillate between the two, depending upon how cheerful I feel at the moment.
