Me: Charlotte's Web is banned??? o_O
Another person: And yet the state (Florida) elected a pig for governor
Me: More like "selected" that beast for governor. Democracy in the US is as fake as Trump's tan. There could be an election where the choice is between Mr. Rogers of children's TV fame running against Josef Stalin and it'd be Stalin who would "win" the "election."
Not that there ever would be that clear cut of a choice. The DNC would never in a million years back Mr. Rogers. Their billionaire overlords would never allow it. They'd try their best to squash his campaign, their voters would still pick him out of all the candidates overwhelmingly (99% voted for him!), and then they'd throw out or alter as many votes as they needed to be able to go "Oh no sorry guys Mr. Rogers didn't win. But we heard your cries for a candidate who's popular with the youths. Your new Democratic candidate is children's TV star Jimmy Saville and his running mate Jared Fogle."
