(s)Elections See other (s)Elections Articles Title: The US Presidency is a Donut Shop - Comments on the Candidates (Bernie, Don, Hillary) People are arguing and fighting. Its all over the internet and Social Media
Why? It pains me to see you guys going through this again. Have we learned nothing over these last 30 years? Especially over these last 15 or so? Let me paraphrase my buddy, Louie to tell you how it is: The US presidency is just like a donut shop; every few years we get a new shop manager of the donut shop, but we NEVER see who owns the donut shop or the parking lot (Thats the big banks, Oil companies and the Military Industrial Complex). These new candidates for donut shop manager come in and always say the same sort of thing: Americans are fat! We need to become healthy! We need to eat more vegetables! We can change! And the US public eats it all up. Then, after the election circus for donut shop manager ends, the new manager comes in, and he can give lip service to Change and eating healthy all he wants, but its just for show. If he doesnt sell the 24 box of glazed donuts, hes out of a job. The public foams at the mouth supporting this candidate or that for donut shop manager. Some even take their days off and drive to conventions wearing ridiculous-looking hats and waving signs and screaming like idiots. Imagine that! What for? So they can help their team win. Theres no way in the world that any new donut shop manager every 4 years is going to come in and change the business plan of the US corporation with over 150 years of imperialism as its profit model. It doesnt matter if its The Don or Bernie. (Sorry, Bernie fans, but you dont serve as a US senator for over ten years if you are not part of the establishment.) To think otherwise is delusional and ignores over 150 years of US history. It seems people have a short memory. Obama was supposedly a Washington outsider too, wasnt he? He was going to change everything too, wasnt he? He was going to end the wars, stop over-throwing foreign governments, stop bombing brown- skinned people in the Middle East, and close the prison camps, have a transparent government, not prosecute whistle-blowers, etc
.. How did that work out for you guys? The system is corrupt through and through. All the donut shop owners (The Powers That Be) care about is if the people (the proles) think their vote matters. Thats why we go through this circus (and mass media propaganda) every few years. Voter participation has been going down steadily for decades. The day less than 20% of the people vote, is the day this system loses all credibility and authority (51% of 20% voters decide the president? 10.5%? Is that a mandate?) Dont vote. Your vote doesnt matter (Bernie won New Hampshire big, but still Hillary got the most delegates, remember?) If voting could change things, it would be illegal is a saying sometimes attributed to Mark Twain
It is a saying that is at least 160 years old. Think about it. It pains me to see you getting suckered into this nonsense again. No offense, my friends. Finally, I will admit that I think Hillary is evil incarnate, a criminal and complete scum-of-the-earth, hence she is the most qualified to be US president. Oh and by the way, if you are from another country, dont think your government isnt a donut shop either
OK, maybe not donuts, maybe Belgian Waffles, Tootsie rolls or Swizzle sticks. For further reference, please refer to George Carlin on The American Dream. You might enjoy this too.

Great post, thanks. (Got my taste buds craving an apple fritter, glazed of course) The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out... without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane, intolerable. ~ H. L. Mencken
Mm bear claw drizzled with chocolate !
Stoppit!

I was telling them concert stories at the Donut Shop here in town last Saturday. I had them all laughing. ;) "When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall, one by one." Edmund Burke
