The political system is rotten to the core

have we not figured this out yet? Mccain, Obama, Clinton - what does it matter? they are all shills. we can squabble about differences in policy all day long... in the end the global agenda will continue as long as we allow the highest of criminals to run things.
you want professional liar A or professional liar B?
doesn't it make you feel nice that a black man and a woman are both in the running? due to this, doesn't it seem like things are progressing in a positive direction? that's the whole point. to create the illusion of positive progress. meanwhile the real progress continues behind the scenes. the question is who benefits ultimately?
who do the candidates really represent?

Wow, I just took it for granted but.. there are actually people out there who think that the fact that a black man and a woman are running for president is a coincidence and that it means America is becoming more free.
Very Orwellian.

Figured out what?
How easy it is to criticize American politics while offering no insight and no new ideas?
Yeah lots of people have figured that out.

I have few complaints.
While no system of government is anything like perfect to all of the people living under it, I would take our system over almost anything out there.

I may be a quasi-fascist (whatever that is) but I'm not in the least bitter. Why should I be bitter when I RULE THE WORLD? BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I think your political system is fine.
Your media is the real culprit behind the clusterfuckery.

You're completely right.
We don't support these policies because we think they make sense or because we think they are the most rational option.
We do it for our Mcdonald's and our Escalades.
You got us.
