    And the building will shift about a sixteenth of an inch. And we’ll all celebrate the power of democracy and how awesome it is we do this ever four years.

    Yes. A little progress is progress nonetheless. You can wish for it to be different, but this is how democracy works, because not everyone thinks like you or has the same priorities as you. Even ignoring the loud authoritarians, there’s still a wide variety of people with different backgrounds and paradigms deciding what they find most important when they vote.

      Clown government.

        Probably because someone was telling people that voting didn’t matter, so they never showed up to oppose that.
