Do any of you really believe that elections are not rigged and our politicians are really gonna let the voters decide the outcome? Think about the shear cost and complexity of a campaign and the size of the brass ring in winning. American presidential elections are as phoney as a three dollar bill. It's not you and I that decide by casting our vote, it's the men behind the scene that have untold power, wealth and influence like you and I can't even begin to comprehend. With all that said, American democracy is still the best thing going, but to believe it's a pure vote/ballot system is not realistic anymore.
