May 2016

and going back to the issue at hand, at the process level, I don't trust US Elections. I trust them as far as I trusted the Mexican elections in my youth. They are that clean, or not, depending on your point of view.

So there was a dedazo, there were irregularities, the only things missing are the cokes and the tortas.

It is what it is. I will pretend to vote. I know it will not count. So my candidate will be whoever the registrar of voters decided I voted for at the central tabulator. So I could not even tell you who I pretended to support anyway. For all I know they will decide to assign the vote of this NDP to Kasich, in a closed Republican primary. This is how bad it is.

Yup, how much I trust the system, So seriously it is not your business who I will vote, but neither my business. It is a pretend election.
