I will tell you what I've been told for many years:

16. If your premise is accepted then how do electoral politics remain impactive

"They" are just going to do what they want and we will all like it or lump it is the argument so other than a show and yet another layer of control what is so important about drawing lines and pulling levers?

I never pegged you for a desperate cover the boss' ass sort but here you are claiming we need to just suck it up or "Rand Paul" while in nearly the same breath stating that our secret overlords supersede the spectacle anyway.

When you make this desperate argument, you are calling for all bets to be off, not just being "good Germans" and welcoming our masters and learn to love them. You are also saying we are slaves and fodder for "greater men" and that we are living in a mass delusion that is a system of control and that means another ballgame to me.

I don't think that is where you really want to go and not a belief that you want spread because it means hell or slavery, more than you think will chose hell and have no reason not to take you with them.

You are making an electoral politics pitch based on fundamental lack of control by the electorate, it is insane and impotent by it's own definition.
