The wife and I pulled the D lever in PA and it made not a whit of difference.
The only contested election on our ballots was for governor and the Dem won that one in a 2 to 1 landslide.
Truth to tell, our votes have never made a difference and never will.
Not since either of us began voting decades ago.
Not in any contest or with regard to any ballot question.
Ever.
Get used to it.
Update, later that same day.
Facticity.
Look it up.
The past is not of our choosing.
Neither is the present.
Neither are our bodies or our very selves.
And we have no fulcrum big enough to move the world.
Well, not as much as we flatter ourselves.
"My name is Ozymandias . . . "
Anyway, a little closer to the point, these are not the parties or the issues I would have wanted to face.
But historically speaking it could have been a lot worse.
And as far as I can tell they will be, for Americans, again.
As we have seen in recent decades, rising tides need not lift all boats.
In coming times, for ordinary people, America is going to be a lot more
like Brazil.
like Brazil.
And voters will not be able to stop it.
Talk about an irrelevant charade.
