The above quotation doesn’t seem to make any logical sense, for in countries with a democratic vote, those votes are thereby typically made for legislative propositions, city council members, school board members, mayors, sheriffs, senators, judicial positions, congressional representatives, and presidents. So then, it most certainly appears that voting does matter; but the thing is, when we look around at how our country deals with vital things such as our wealth disparity, poverty, ill-education, incarceration, political acts, the policing arm of the state, and justice so being served, it has to be recognized that there is often a significant disconnect with what has so been voted upon, and the actual effect of that vote upon the people, in whole.
In other words, voting does not seem to make a difference, because if it really did, we would have, for instance, more equality in the income and wealth of our people, as opposed to the massive disparity between those that have it all, and those that have nothing. If voting actually matter, then the justice so being meted out would treat white-collar crime, more in accordance to how street-level crime is treated. If voting really had any significance, then the politicians so being elected, and the legislation so being passed, would actually have a meaningful impact upon the people’s lives, as opposed to such, pretty much often being just words on a paper, and therefore an irrelevancy, for the most part, in the everyday lives of the people.
The fact of the matter is that voting, appears to be nothing much more than an elaborate charade, of which the people are sold the illusion that this government is, of, for, and by the people; but the results of this construct are right in front of our eyes, in which, quite obviously the people, don’t seem to have any meaningful voice, whatsoever. This might seem puzzling to many people, because they have voted, and they believe that the legislation so passed, and the politicians so elected, must so and do make a difference; but in actuality, that doesn’t often occur, especially in regards for all those that aren’t connected, or aren’t high up in the scale of those people that actually have a say.
So then, we live under a governance, of which, in actuality, there are two governments, in which, one of those governments proports to provide us with a voice, so demonstrated through elections and propositions of all types, and many a person believes in this as being not only the government as it really is, but the reality of what they live in. Then there is the real government, which is a shadow government, and of which, that shadow government effectively runs the show, or if not completely running the show, is definitely at the helm of a rather large and somewhat unwieldy ship; and it is this shadow government, that makes sure that what so occurs in actuality, is that which benefits those that are its actuators, and cares not a whit, for those that are its subjects, for they are basically seen by them as a resource to exploit, to use, and are thereby kept satiated by the bread that feeds their belly, and the circuses so created to keep them perpetually amused.
