DO YOU REALLY THINK YOUR VOTE COUNTS?

It Doesn’t

Hat tip Boston Bob

It’s never going to get any better, don’t look for it, be happy with what you’ve got.

Because the owners, the owners of this country don’t want that. I’m talking about the real owners now, the BIG owners! The Wealthy… the REAL owners! The big wealthy business interests that control things and make all the important decisions.

Forget the politicians. They are irrelevant. The politicians are put there to give you the idea that you have freedom of choice. You don’t. You have no choice! You have OWNERS! They OWN YOU. They own everything. They own all the important land. They own and control the corporations. They’ve long since bought, and paid for the Senate, the Congress, the state houses, the city halls, they got the judges in their back pockets and they own all the big media companies, so they control just about all of the news and information you get to hear. They got you by the balls.

They spend billions of dollars every year lobbying, lobbying, to get what they want. Well, we know what they want. They want more for themselves and less for everybody else, but I’ll tell you what they don’t want:

They don’t want a population of citizens capable of critical thinking. They don’t want well informed, well educated people capable of critical thinking. They’re not interested in that. That doesn’t help them. Thats against their interests.

Thats right. They don’t want people who are smart enough to sit around a kitchen table and think about how badly they’re getting fucked by a system that threw them overboard 30 fucking years ago. They don’t want that!

You know what they want? They want obedient workers. Obedient workers, people who are just smart enough to run the machines and do the paperwork. And just dumb enough to passively accept all these increasingly shitty jobs with the lower pay, the longer hours, the reduced benefits, the end of overtime and vanishing pension that disappears the minute you go to collect it, and now they’re coming for your Social Security money. They want your retirement money. They want it back so they can give it to their criminal friends on Wall Street, and you know something? They’ll get it. They’ll get it all from you sooner or later cause they own this fucking place! It’s a big club, and you ain’t in it! You, and I, are not in the big club.

By the way, it’s the same big club they use to beat you over the head with all day long when they tell you what to believe. All day long beating you over the head with their media telling you what to believe, what to think and what to buy. The table has tilted folks. The game is rigged and nobody seems to notice. Nobody seems to care! Good honest hard-working people; white collar, blue collar it doesn’t matter what color shirt you have on. Good honest hard-working people continue, these are people of modest means, continue to elect these rich cock suckers who don’t give a fuck about you….they don’t give a fuck about you… they don’t give a FUCK about you.

They don’t care about you at all… at all… AT ALL. And nobody seems to notice. Nobody seems to care. Thats what the owners count on. The fact that Americans will probably remain willfully ignorant of the big red, white and blue dick thats being jammed up their assholes everyday, because the owners of this country know the truth.

It’s called the American Dream,because you have to be asleep to believe it.

Votes don’t count only as long as you (or the ones who vote) keep voting for the status quo.

Vote for someone outside the status quo and your vote counts.

This is especially true the closer to local the election is, local elections in medium and smaller districts are very dependent in there outcome on just a small number of votes one way or the other.

When the Elite can no longer easily control their “Democracy” with deceit, “The People” will vote in the Elite’s Chosen Dictator. How’s that working out for you?

Well THAT’s disappointing news. I guess this means my vote for Loca the Pug isn’t going to matter!

Just what I needed, after someone posted the link to the South Park “my safe space” song, which has now been stuck in my head for TWO GODDAM DAYS!!!

I picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue.

Votes absolutely count! If they don’t then why is the GOP establishment shitting their pants over Trump? If votes don’t count why are State laws so different? If votes did not count Texas would have the same gun laws as California, but they don’t. It’s a different electorate that what? Votes differently. On the national stage the lines are blurry for sure and the money is the culprit. But what are you going to do, stay home and get assraped by Liberal Hordes?

Well put, sensetti. These guys want revolutionary change, but don’t recognize it when it’s right in front of their faces. If it doesn’t come a libtardarian package, they pout

Voting only makes a real difference from the county level on down. Maybe. Sometimes. If you’re lucky. From state to federal level, voting is bullshit. Your representatives do not represent you. Trump will either be no different than his predecessors or he’ll end up as a corpse. Anything less than full repeal of the Federal Reserve Act means nothing will change regardless of who is elected. You sure as hell don’t see Trump advocating to End The Fed do you?

In my state the citizens bring all sorts of initiatives to the ballot jumping through hoops to meet deadlines and signature requirements. If TPTB oppose these initiatives they immediately file lawsuits against them if they pass tying them up in legal limbo.

In my city we had an ordinance that allowed concealed carry (w/permit) in PUD facilities. Our state constitution and state law backed this up as did our local laws. The PUD still found a way to outlaw concealed carry in PUD facilities even if you had a permit. The voters weren’t even asked. Rule by decree.

Trumps is as close as its ever gonna get to a third party taking power. And no one really knows what he’ll do! He will more than likely crown himself King and declare one of his Casinos the new White House, seeing it will be impossible to wash the shame and filth from the walls of the former majestic structure.

I’m solidly for Trump related to the fact he’s tearing the two party system to shreds! What will be left? Your guess is as good as mine!

Naw, Trumps precedent of financing his own campaign means that the job is now for sale to the highest bidder. We can look forward to:

President Jeff Bezos of the Amazon Party

President Mark Zuckerberg of the Facebook Party

President Eric Schmidt of the Google Party

President Christy Walton of the Walmart Party

and many more. Yep, things are looking up! I can’t wait!
