THE FIX IS IN, A POLITICAL TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT
Journal Post by SooZen
Because I am in the midst of a major fibro flare which exacerbates all of my other physical failings, I haven’t had the energy to do much but moan (O really SooZ?) But today, I am putting the pain in my neck, wrist, knees, feet and my dizziness and blurry vision aside and try and talk about something I rarely do… AMERICAN POLITICS (ut oh!)… mostly because it stirs up such dust and rancor.
Whether you believe me or others who know how the system works, the FIX is already in. Our two party system is not ruled “by the people” no ma’am! no sir’ee! That… you (that follow the talking heads) may already know, but do you know that who gets the final nomination for President of the United States is decided by a very few in their respective two party conventions?
Our government, now, is a government ruled by corporations, banks, their lawyers, and the upper classes, all who hold the reins firmly in control. You may also know this (depending on your leanings or states of denial…) IF you call yourself a Democrat or a Republican and stubbornly vote that way (because of one reason or another) you may believe that those parties mostly have your interests and beliefs at heart. They don’t, not really. Power is totally intoxicating and there are a lot of intoxicated people in that sphere.
And what do I mean by the FIX being in? I’ll tell you (if you have read this far…) Delegates are elected by the people who vote in their respective states (which in our country is a dearth of the voters actually, which is sad in itself). Once they get to the Conventions, they are pledged to support their delegate(s). BUT the two parties have an ace up their sleeves (cheating SooZ? Really?) That ace is something the parties have to assure that the “right” person gets nominated. They are called the Superdelegates and they are ‘free’ to support whichever delegate they deem fit (actually, who the rulers of the parties deem fit). Because they are there to make sure no so called ‘crackpot,’ ‘communist’ or just someone they don’t happen to deem is electable and does not ultimately toe ‘The Party’ line.
These ‘Supers’ meet in secret during the respective Conventions (and sometimes before) and they are well versed (brainwashed?) as to who they should support by the DNC and/or the RNC rulers.
Unfortunately (I think), that really leaves no room for any alternatives (which is the main reason the ‘beloved socialist’ Bernie Sanders of the far left decided to run as a Dem instead of as an Independent).
And because I am well aware that the FIX is in, I do not worry that the Reps will nominate some crackpot or bombast like Carson or Trump. They won’t because none of the above fits the ‘Party’ line, is electable or is actually what those in power really want.
Risky business and the fears of losing POWER OVER THE PEOPLE rules. The Millennial’s (aka Generation Y or the Net Generation) are just as idealistic and driven as we Boomer’s during our early years (and bless them for that) but the term ‘idealistic’ applies and they are sadly (IMO) mostly unaware that the FIX is in by our two party system so they work tirelessly for the candidates they ‘think’ may have a chance of being elected. NOT A CHANCE, not unless those nominees understand and will follow what the party ‘dictates’. (Yikes! You used that word SooZ?)
And if you think dear readers that I am just blowing air out my arsehole, just do some research on the issue. I did, long ago, and it is one of the reasons I always vote as an Independent because we absolutely need alternatives to THE FIX. (Not the band btw.)
Now, back to licking my wounds…
