But thats the tjing, voting usually does nothing. Most voters already know this and ....they continue to vote.

george carling told us this decades ago and most people refuse to accept he is right:

"Now, there's one thing you might have noticed I don't complain about: politicians. Everybody complains about politicians. Everybody says they suck. Well, where do people think these politicians come from? They don't fall out of the sky. They don't pass through a membrane from another reality. They come from American parents and American families, American homes, American schools, American churches, American businesses and American universities, and they are elected by American citizens. This is the best we can do folks. This is what we have to offer. It's what our system produces: Garbage in, garbage out. If you have selfish, ignorant citizens, you're going to get selfish, ignorant leaders. Term limits ain't going to do any good; you're just going to end up with a brand new bunch of selfish, ignorant Americans. So, maybe, maybe, maybe, it's not the politicians who suck. Maybe something else sucks around here... like, the public. Yeah, the public sucks. There's a nice campaign slogan for somebody: 'The Public Sucks. F*ck Hope. .'" -- George Carlin

He even added at the back part of that quote that I forgot that you cant get mad at him in particular cause he just doesnt vote.Ever! THE PUBLIC are the ones who vote so THEY should be getting mad at themselves for electing such awful 'leaders' and millionaires who ruin and steal everything and these millionairss in the Electoral College run the same jerking session every 4 years splat splat splat splat. Meanwhile, HE at home who didnt vote he'll/have something to 'show' for his little 'jerking session' ๐Ÿ˜˜

This comment applies to pratically everywhere else on the planet not just america ย .

People can get mad at the Bolsheviks for not voting and for doing things 'a certain way' but we can all see that from 1917-1991 the Bolsheviks strategy of not voting ACTUALLY ....worked! The living standards of a Slavic person from 1917-1991 was amongst the highest on the planet whether they were Ukranian or Kazakh and it has also been proven that from 1991-2001 no place on the planet experienced a sharper rise in poverty than...well.... those same Slavic peoples! Hmmm how bout that? Same can be said for the Cubans and the Vietnamese and the Koreans

Corporate needs to find the difference between these two pictures. Eastern Bloc are the ones who put Trump back in the white house, the ones he reports to.

The Eastern Bloc has been thoroughly exterminated and those who werent exterminated were satiated and thoroughly convinced to switch sides.

Dont most former Soviet countries have their communist parties outlawed or banned out of media?
