We should thank Trump and Bernie Sanders for showing that the elections are fixed.

How are we different from a totalitarian regime that appoints their leaders?

We are a Republic; a combined 50 states that have as individual states a perceived *autonomy* that works willingly with a 'unifying ideal: The Federal Government'. Totalitarian as opposed to Dictatorships (they are one and the same) as control the provinces: the parts of the country outside of the capitol or the largest cities.

To placate the masses into thinking we as the populace count (one vote cast will have the ability in numbers elect one candidate). Is is not true. I suppose the populace vote is just a shill vote (you are being allowed the thought your vote counts). It does not.

They do count, just not as much as typically believed.

I think Trump and Ron Paul showed us that what happens when you have an outsider attempt to threaten the mega-corp status quo in politics.

The POTUS is just a commissioner of different large multinational business interests.

A corporate population manager.

I thought I was a conspiracy theorist.

Winning multiple coin flips in a row.
The Super duper delegates. Winning states yet still losing anyway.
