Did you get a chance to watch the video posted a day or so ago about the "money primary" which is before the party primary, which in turn is before the main election?...and how it compares to the Hong Kong system in which .02% of the population picks the candidates, so the democracy is really not a choice, because regardless, the winner of the election will look out for the interest of the .02%.

Evil preaches tolerance until it is dominant, then it tries to silence good.
