But we all know voting is a rigged joke.

So why get upset?

because corruption...so so tired of the endless way it's been gotten away with for millennia.

But it's their game, and they're destined to win 99.99%.

I'm sad everyone's getting upset about it. But I guess that passion is good if it can be channeled (not just vented).

I'm not saying that we shouldn't try to take them down by their own games (voting, laws, regulations, etc), working from within their matrix of rigged systems - but we also need to think outside their boxes.

Couldn't agree more! These systems are all built on a foundation that is not beneficial. Working from inside a corrupt system to "fix" it seems like a fool's errand. It's like begging for crumbs from a malevolent tyrant. It just perpetutates the problem by making it a tiny bit more tolerable We need a true "Enlightenment", where all people, and the planet, are in the equation--where our accountings are not prioritizing only the bottom line, but the well-being of the totality of life.
