There is little purpose in writing extensively about how the United Stations electoral system, while providing the illusion of popular influence, is little more than a tool to manufacture an air of legitimacy where none exists. It is used to continue our domination, and that of the other oppressed classes. Instead I'll just point to Ray Cunningham's very brief If voting changed anything... it would be illegal.
No matter which candidate is elected, we are in for more of the same. More capitalism. More oppression. More war. More police. More violence. The presidential and vice-presidential candidates are not necessarily inherently bad people, but they do believe in capitalism, and electing the ones from either party will result in just about the same outcome. It is time to stop imagining that our votes make a difference, and begin organizing for real democracy.
Hint: for the most wheat-pasting fun (best quality), print on 11 by 17 inch paper with a printer that supports margins of no more than 0.3 inches... 0.18 is preferred; this may mean turning on "Edge-to-Edge Printing" for HP printers, or something else for printers made by others
