“That one sentence conveys everything. It is a terrible thing that the serfs expect to their vote to count. The candidates we vote for will be selected for us much like the Politburo of old.”
I wonder why “the Politburo” allowed Trump to run? Must be a very deep conspiracy.
Did you ever stop to consider if “the system is rigged”, then Trump must be part of the conspiracy?
Trump is an exception, and it shows in the reaction of the press, the parties, etc. The GOP thought his candidacy would flame out, that he was no risk to the system of only allowing approved candidates to have a snowball’s chance in hell.
Trump is simply too wealthy to have been ignored by a large section of the population. Wealth does make a difference. The fact is, right or wrong, no one, no matter who they are or how grand their ideas, no one, without $$$$$$ can make it in the political arena on a national level. A “poor” candidate may make a small dent, but a “poor” candidate will get very little in terms of a mass movement going for them.
Not only that, but if everyone is so sure the system is rigged, why have they ever bothered voting at all, for Trump, Reagan, or anyone else? Why do they care who wins the primary or the general election?
You are the bright one Duke. Think of everything.
