Marcos here, line many, falls for the classic myth. That change can come to America via the ballot box. That it matters who you vote for. That the election makes a difference. How many times do we need to be reminded that this isn't true? How many elections of false hope gone nowhere do we need to see?

I'll say it again as I have innumerable times before. It does not matter one bit who gets elected president.

As Emma Goldman once quipped, "If voting changed anything, they'd make it illegal."




As long as the majority of the population is bickering amongst themselves over one thing or another, the system is working as intended.
