 I’m optimistic there won’t be a manufactured crisis. It doesn’t seem like any party is even campaigning, much less trying to communicate a vision for America. They don’t need a new distraction to cover up how poorly qualified each candidate is, they know everyone knows it and love that nobody has a real choice this cycle, yet again. Oligarchs win either way, they have worked out the math that they don’t need your vote. 

To me it all feels like we’re in another bitcoin-exit-the-matrix situation. We’re all sitting on the tool (voting) that we need to end this shit but not using it correctly. I’m going to start voting for who is best, independent of party, not against who I hate from now on.
