 look all I'm saying is the results this election decides whether you should
 trust the government or the corporations more. and they both want things that
 you don't, in addition to things you do.

 Gee I sure wish my country didn't hold the decisionmaking capability from me
 by gatekeeping it behind elections and polling. Sure wish our media wasn't so
 involved in decisionmaking - isn't it something we should talk about amongst
 ourselves? To find out how we feel, and really explore our feelings around a
 topic before expressing ourselves. Ideally more often than twice a year,
 perhaps whenever we want?

 The judges prevent the politicians from harming the people who elect the
 politicians who select the judges. Sounds like it should work well, no?
 
 well... the people are divided, but the politicians it seem are hardly so. So,
 the politicians elect their judges, who allow the passage of such laws which
 contradict the will of the people.
 
 The keys to power should rest in the hands of those who deserve it, not those
 who claim it. If those who claim it do not relinquish it for a worthy other,
 they are corrupt and must be dethroned.

 fight, or support those who are fighting.
 
 everyone.
 
 if the election upholds the status quo, there is a chance that their wounds
 might heal and they may rejoin us in our reasonable society.

 good thing it'll never happen because those dinguses can't accept defeat and

 @user-1573 
 
 the easiest analogy would be to say an election is a gun, votes are bullets,
 and the shooters are the candidates
 
 could also say that the shooting event is an election, bullets as a concept is
 democracy while each individual bullet is a vote, and the gun and shooters are
 the ballots and voters
 
 I dunno. I don't especially like thinking about guns and elections in the same
 sentence...

 they say that not all monarchs are evil or inept, but the worst ones
 definitely are.
 
 such is the same for all leaders, elected or otherwise.
 
 sometimes, it's better to question authority than to grow to resent it.
 
 resentment is inaction. it is an untenable [charity./tragedy.]
