With all the threads about voter fraud, and the continued consolidation of the vote count by one mega source - SCYTL, it begs the question, "does your vote count?"

Someone convince me that the elite, which owns and controls this corporation we call the United States, cares enough about you and me to allow us to decide how this corporation is to be run.

Does any other corporation allow its employees to vote in its leaders or dictate how that corporation will be run from a business standpoint?

Does the elite control both Republican and Democratic candidates and therefore it really doesn' matter which one you vote for?

Well I hope the elite controls our political system. Would you rather the homeless or the incompetent?

really it only matters for the SCOTUS but even there I don't see that much difference between Rs and Ds. I mean abortion and gay rights, but considering I am a man and I am not gay, these dont matter that much to me.

I'd rather the incompetent stop licking boots and become competent.

If you have to ask the question, you wouldn't understand the answer.

are you trying to say that the right to vote is just an illusion given to the people to feel like they control the government?!

Id buy it.

Would they continue to play the game otherwise?

Nope, not mine. I'm just one of the sheeple grazing next to you on the pasture land of the power elite who will never allow me to improve my station in life. Presidents Carter, Reagan, Bush 1&2,
Clinton and Obama were all the same and handpicked by the power elite. Scalia and Kagan are the same. Bill Gates, Kenny Troutt, Howard Schultz, Oprah, and Ralph Lauren have never left this field because the power elite controls all and won't allow them to rise.

I began all of the weekly primary threads this year because there was limited interest and I was able to provide a lot of factual information on the key races, candidates and trends in my OP.

Not sure a general election thread would work very well because there will be 30 or more threads popping up tonight on the topic and any sort of consolidation will be an exercise in futility.

I expect to start a thread, but doubt it will become THE thread.

Note: the nice thing about the primary threads was that they stayed troll-free and along with my updates, several people made solid contributions throughout the evening/night, offering insights and questions. Those who posted were truly interested in the elections themselves.

If YOU start such a thread, I will support it and contribute to it regularly throughout the evening and long night.

How did you come to this conclusion?

Correct. They were all the same in that their job was to sell you/us on the agenda of the elite as being beneficial to you/us.

You told me.

What is the agenda of the elite? If that agenda was to suddenly disappear, what would happen? Would there no longer be an "elite", would everyone prosper?

Except for Gates, those billionaires all started off very poor. How did they rise up? How did they thwart the power elites' agenda to keep people down?

Those people rose up by selling out to the elite.

What does that mean? Details please. Is every successful person a "sell-out"?

You have poorly explained everything you've said…ever. It's always amorphous paranoia that seems to be an attempt to blame an unsatisfactory life on shadowy others' misdeeds.
