The Most Meaningless Elections Of Our Lifetimes (Until the Next Ones)

Outside MAGA circles we're all supposed to cheer the "Blue" victory in the elections just past, largely due to backlash against the repeal of Roe v. Wade. But an annoying thought inevitably spoils the victory party. In the U.S. abortion was taken away by the same process through which it was initially granted - by a highly undemocratic Supreme Court. So what grounds are there for complaint? 

If democracy is the issue, and it clearly is, why can't we notice that we have more and more elections and less and less democracy? There may have never been an emptier ballot than that of the California November 8 elections this year. Absolutely pathetic. No Green Party, Peace and Freedom Party, People's Party, Fusion Candidate, not even a Ron Paul libertarian. Unlike previous years, there was no token peace candidate anywhere in the Democratic Party, just perfect unity in unrestrained funding for the Ukraine slaughter that has brought us to the brink of nuclear war. 

The prime function of voting is to fool people into thinking they have a voice in government. As Patrice Greanville of The Greanville Post noted, it's like sending a letter to Santa Claus - as an adult.
