The polls are rigged to make us feel complacent and suppress our vote. Surely no Democrat will show up at the polls now, so 'they' will be free to rig the election at will. The GOP and our corporate masters own the world and have planned our destiny until the end of days. Conspirators are all around us and nothing is as it appears. NOTHING! There is no hope left in the world. Doom and Gloom! Doom and Gloom!

Pardon me, because I am beginning to find it tiresome. It grates on my nerves and depresses my enthusiasm for what really is an exciting and fun election season.
