There are NO exit polls that hold election results to task. Bribes are legalized. Never asked questions don't need to be answered. I have lowered my expectations lower than I could have imagined 5yrs back. Massive change is coming and it will be painful. All we really need is free and fair elections including primaries, for '20 & '22. Money turns everything to shit. Peacefully changing needs an informed and educated electorate, and the airwaves belong to the people. ☮️ Enough for a 300 billion dollar/year defense budget, leaves us 500 billion to play with !! Of course Medicare for all is alot cheaper than what we got !! It seems so easy, but the forces against, pay the media and the govt
