The presidential elections are the least meaningful elections even though they get the most coverage and attention. The executive has little control over domestic policy and foreign policy is largely determined by external factors. Ironically, the elections that most affect the average voter are local and state level, and yet they receive the least voter participation by a large margin.

i haven't bothered with this whole voting thing since vegas had a mayor who played himself in a scorcese movie and told kids the character in their bush9/11 book reading was drinking Bombay Sapphire™. I think i'm coming out of retirement for a worthy candidate and spiritual successor.

Are you really using Vegas as a metric for whether or not you should vote? You're talking about a city that was basically controlled by the mob up until the mid 80s. Que the "government is the mob" comment.

We had a term for the mob days and Goodman days -- "the good times". I don't even want to get into the ways tax money filled up our pockets back then, but rest assured I could write quite a blogpost on it. I never knew anyone seriously connected - that was just the environment every one of us was steeped in.

Unfortunately, our more modern local and federal pols have found the "play to angry browns you don't have to pay" model leaves a lot more printed money for subsidizing bankers and buying guided missiles than funding the old bread and circus. One look at Trump speaking and I know we can bring those circuses back.

This is just the most stunning example of how wrong you are. In what way do Bernie and Donald talk to people the same way? I've never heard Bernie turn on his television personality and call obese whores "disgusting animals" either.
