I stopped bothering to vote a long time ago, but I still get a kick out
of watching the circus every couple years. Fortunately, I'm not alone.
First up; Dmitry Orlov on Russian meddling:
and then some old-school George Carlin:
Look, it really is quite simple. Nothing you do can possibly matter. It used to be that local governments had some control, but Federalism
is a long time dead. Any city mayor or state legislater who dares to
defy DC will find themselves quickly brought to heel or squashed like a
bug. Even at the federal level, we all saw what happened to Trump when
he tried to end our pointless wars, normalize relations with Russia and
slow illegal immigration. He was quickly set straight by the unelected
bureaucracy.
So lower your stress level. Stop voting. Stop
caring. Realize that in a thousand years, no one will know or care who
was elected mayor of Miami in 2018.
