Another aspect of this is that this whole circus of electioneering, politicking, and all that, just distract people from what the real problems are. Western ranchers being murdered or held as political prisoners by the federal government? Sorry, we don't have time for that. We have to focus on electing the least awful candidate to be our next President. U.S. drone strikes killing innocent civilians in other countries? Sorry, we don't have time for that either. We have to make sure that the right person becomes President so that we can be protected from those madmen terrorists that come to kill us!
