By the way, chew on this, due to the shenanigans now foreign leaders have said that our "democracy" is no longer an example to follow. By the way, the shenanigans started in 2000, they just have gotten to the point we have now pretend elections. I will gladly "vote" in my pretend primary and pretend general election, with the full knowledge that I do not expect my vote to really count.
Our elections are as dirty as they used to be where I came from... and I have the same exact trust in them. Chew on that one.
Yesterday at the Sanders Rally I was talking with a fellow reporter from Bolivia... hey the Secret Service kept us cooped in for a while. So we were shooting the breeze. We both agreed that US elections have become as laughable as the ones that are held in Bolivia, or in several parts of Mexico.
So what can I say?
But we have experience with dirty elections.
By the way should be that none starts to report on this shit until the polls close. In the GE that means you get to learn this next day, because you know what? Hawaii is still voting.
