 I don’t know how some of you actually watch the debate and think there’s anything meaningful to extract from it. It’s deck chairs on the titanic. Elected officials don’t even run the govt.

Case in point, we don’t have a president, and nothing’s changed. 

It’s literally reality TV. It’s governance theater. Your vote doesn’t matter. If it did, you wouldn’t be allowed to do it.
