The 2016 election has been a wild ride, with two insurgent grassroots campaigns literally giving the political establishment a run for its money. But as the events of this presidential primary season play out, it’s becoming clear the U.S. election — and even more so, the presidential race — is a big scam being perpetrated on the American people. Events from the last week have exposed the system as an illusion of choice and a farce. They have reinforced at least one study showing the U.S. is an oligarchy rather than a democratic republic
 
By Finian Cunningham, for over 20 years he worked as an editor and writer in major news media organizations, including The Mirror, Irish Times and Independent:

"In the 'Land of the Free’, the Washington political establishment and its mainstream media echo chamber are moving by sleight of hand to select the Democrat and Republican presidential nominees. Emphasis here on selection, not election.

The Socialist firebrand Bernie Sanders and billionaire magnate Donald Trump have both got momentum among ordinary voters. But as the electoral dynamic gathers pace, the political and media establishment are becoming increasingly desperate to throw spanners in the wheels.

Sanders and Trump may be at different ends of the political spectrum, but they have one big thing in common. They are outside the Washington establishment and both have articulated radical policies that appeal to ordinary voters in ways that confound vested Washington interests.

The New York Times reported this week a“Barrage of Attack Ads Threaten to Undermine Trump”. The paper discloses that Republican rivals and political action committees are planning to spend millions of dollars on new attack ads to discredit the business tycoon. Already a whopping $70 million has been spent by Republican opponents on negative campaigning against Trump.

For Sanders, the establishment gatekeepers appear to be only recently moving to action stations against his possible nomination. Up to now, the Vermont Senator has been largely ignored by the mainstream media in the US. He has been given a fraction of media coverage compared with other presidential hopefuls. But as Sanders picks up momentum among ordinary voters,“far beyond what anyone anticipated,”as the Washington Post noted, it is revealing that the media attacks are now starting to come thick and fast."

Sanders & Trump: Gatekeepers slam door on outsiders
 
Aren't kids taught government or social studies in school any more?

Why should the elections process be such a mystery to them?

We are not a democracy, even if Dump and the moonbat messiah believe we are.

If Dump's "experts" didn't know how things work in CO, what chance in hell will he pick someone better than Hitlery for any cabinet position?
