    2.4 MILLION PEOPLE… Why the fuck is every goddamn election 50/50!? Why the hell is it always the fucking razors edge!?

    I’m no math guy but I feel like statistically it shouldn’t be possible for almost every goddamn election to be 50/50… 49/51… For fucks sake…

      It’s because it’s all fake and designed to make you think you have a chance and that things are decided fairly. Your TV isn’t cheap because it’s subsidized by ads from whatever media company. It’s cheap because the media keeping you in line is the most cost effective tool they can come up with. Prices are determined by how much you’re pacified by the product rather than “market forces”.
