in #writing7 years ago

Interestingly, It's What Doesn't Matter, With The Most Attributes, Since

Having The Most Votes Doesn't Matter
Having The Largest Ground-game, Most Money And Most Ad Spending Doesn't Matter
Being The Most Despised Doesn't Matter
Bragging About Sexual Assault Doesn't Matter
Not Releasing Tax Returns Doesn't Matter
Not Having Military Or Political Experience Doesn't Matter
Being Of The Born Again Religious Right Doesn't Matter
Using Billion Dollar Tax Breaks Doesn't Matter
Encouraging Assaults On Dissenters Doesn't Matter
Spewing Conspiracy Theories Doesn't Matter

Suggestions About Genital Size Doesn't Matter

Suggestions About Banning Or Intimidating Members Of A Religion Doesn't Matter

Representing And Speaking Of A United Diverse Country Doesn't Matter

However

Closed System Old Guard Super Delegate Political Cronyism - Does Matter

No Plan And Not Even Acknowledging America's Living Standard Decline - Does Matter

Suggesting Continually That America Is Full Of Racists - Does Matter

Very well done!!! I voted for a third party candidate in 1980, John Anderson. He told the truth and I found that very refreshing...he got 1% of the vote!

Thanks...I voted for the Libertarian candidate in 1980 and this year.

That was John...and I was wrong, he got 6.6% of the vote. I really liked what he had to say, he made a lot of sense. But he didn't promise free shit so he lost...that's what you get for having principles!

I liked Anderson...but when he had 25% in the polls the MSM decided to ditch him. The fact that they never sought his voice EVER for any other independent runs is an example of a closed system IMO.

When he had 25% in the polls, he was a direct threat to the status quo...he had to be silenced or marginalized.
