One hundred percent of the propaganda media coverage that you will hear, will be about "Hillary and Trump." (One brand is referred to by her first name; the other brand, by his last.)

No matter what the propaganda ministry media might "dig up" about one or the other of them, a fundamental tenet of crowd psychology will always be observed: "it will always be presented to you as 'a choice between two, and only two.'"

"The other two" will be ignored. Not permitted to "debate," because they did not spend the hundreds of millions of dollars that are required to be part of that show, and also because the single political corporation that PWNs owns both brands does not want to in any way dilute their billion-dollar message.

Above all else, they do not want the American public to consider ... or even to know ... that there are four names on the ballot.

"Nothing to see here. Pay no attention to those 'other' little men behind the curtain. 'Your vote would just be wasted,' you know, if you ever considered ... oh, never mind ... you're much too smart to think outside of our 'Red vs. Blue' box ..."

But, elections are a funny thing.

The Two Party System, Inc. has played its game very dangerously this year, partly because they really don't understand social media, and "Millennials" in general. They do know that this generation, which by-and-large does not watch TeeVee, now represents the majority of the voting public. They are also aware (although they refuse to admit it ...) that they do not PWN these voter's faces. They have generally done very well at throwing hornet's nests into the Baby Boomers, and for the most part the Boomers are following the script, but the wild-card is the people that their tactics do not reach.

If this generation acts in the manner that they have sometimes been known to do ... if they take their country more seriously than their parents now do ... then Dewey Defeats Truman could be the next, world-changing headline as both Hillary and Trump go down, and seventy-five years of "accepted political strategy" disintegrates.

Elections are a very funny thing . . .

The irony is everyone knows there are third parties, even the establishment makes no attempts to 'hide' these candidates much since you see them on tv from time-to-time. Not like it matters of course, since they get little to no coverage, and yes you can vote for them but in the end it will still be either a repugn-ican, or democ-rat in office.

Some good points, especially I do not understand how Trump can be attacked only for his sexual misdeeds, even though again Shillery practically did nothing while Bill's willie was doing all the thinking.

Maybe I misinterpreted the article, but when it comes to Shillery she is by no means anti war, and is quite pro wallstreet.

@SundialSvcs:

There are three other choices: Jill Stein, Gary Johnson and Evan McMullin. I hear the last one is actually pretty popular in Utah.

So, go ahead. Go ahead and roll over. Go ahead and play dead. Go ahead and whimper and complain that the vote that you never even bothered to cast wouldn't have made a difference anyway.

Fortunately for all of us, your (grand-)children do not yet think as you do.
