The System Is So Rigged It’s Broken

The term rigged system has been thrown around all week.

The right has used it to express the idea that Donald Trump isn’t getting a fair shake from the GOP. Whoever you support in the fight, it’s hard to argue against the fact that the GOP is doing everything in their power to prevent the candidate with the majority vote from winning (however small a majority that may be).

The left is facing the same thing to an even worse extent. I know that there is no love lost from our site for the democrat’s side, but the truth is that their voters don’t want Hillary in the White House any more than we do. The super delegates are the least democratic thing I can think of and makes me happy that at least the Republican Party hasn’t instituted such a monumental attack on the voice of the people.

While it is hard to feel sympathy for the “opponents”, the truth is that they aren't our opponents yet. Any Bernie Sanders supporter who looks at the way Trump is being treated by his party and says good, is missing a bigger point. The same forces on the left conspiring to stop Bernie Sanders from winning are the same forces on the right united against Trump.

It makes no difference who you want as president, you have to understand that our vote is being stolen from us.

Both Trump and Sanders have succeeded in rallying the disenfranchised voters who are sick of the status quo establishment agenda, only to find out that, guess what? Their vote really didn’t matter.

Donald Trump lost Colorado with no votes being cast. A victory that Ted Cruz has reveled in, saying “we won through superior organization.” Is superior organization what the founding fathers had in mind when picking a president?

Bernie Sanders has won 7 out of 8 contests against Hillary Clinton and yet he hasn’t even come close to catching her. She started the race with 25% of the needed count. Imagine playing a football game where your opponent starts at 14 points. All they would have to do is play defense.

Sanders won Wyoming with a commanding lead and yet only got half of the delegates that Hillary got. That is clearly a rigged system.

If Hillary makes it to the White House, it’s not the voters you have to blame. It’s the corrupt party that is stealing the election.

As far as the GOP is concerned they had a monumental opportunity on their hands. Their voters, who felt constantly betrayed by the system, came out in force to support a very unlikely candidate in Donald Trump.

And instead of recognizing this and channeling the anger and frustration, the Republican Party ignored it, hoped it would go away, and now are actively engaged in stopping it.

Furthermore, does anyone really believe that the Republican Party will give Ted Cruz the nomination when he has fewer delegates and states then Trump? Ted Cruz, who the GOP hates more than every single other person not named Donald Trump?

The GOP is using Ted Cruz and once his usefulness has come to pass, they will discard him and pick a Mitt Romney or a Paul Ryan or even Jeb Bush. Someone who really embodies the spirit of the powerful elite that runs this country.

History will prove 2016 to be an election cycle of monumental importance. Where both parties had the chance to listen and learn from the people, but instead chose to fight them and cast them out.

So, when you get to the ballot box in November and you have the choice between Hillary Clinton and Paul Ryan, who will you vote for? After all, it’s a two-party system, you have to vote for one of them.

The system doesn't work. The system is rigged.
