Exactly. I voted in 1980 (Anderson) all the way through Ron Paul (2008) before I gave up. The fact that candidates can literally say anything while (s)electioneering and then completely renege on every single platform without any repercussion whatsoever made it obvious that the whole thing is a game.

Watch "The Jones Plantation" on tubi.com for free.

The constitution was written and "ratified" by a bunch of rich European victims of primogeniture, bequeathing power to an invented entity - power which they themselves did not have to bequeath to anyone nor to any contrived new entity.

Then they declared that the document is valid "forever", calling it "government with the consent of the governed" even though not a single American in the past 200+ years has ever declared his or her own consent to same. The whole system is a joke.
