31. The thing is, I have just about zero faith in the electoral system as an agent of real change.

Electoral politics in this country, as it is currently constituted, is the triumph of money over all other considerations. The Ruling Class puts on a convincing show for the masses, while preserving its control over the institutions of governence, and its privileges and perogatives.

It's just kubuki theatre designed to maintain the status quo no matter who "wins".
