Democracy Doesn’t Exist: Here’s Why Voting Doesn’t Change Anything
“Presidents are selected, not elected.” These
are the words of Franklin D. Roosevelt, longtime politician and the
32nd President of the United States. Are presidents really selected? Do
votes really count? Or are presidential elections rigged? More and more
people seem to believe so, as every year, presidential candidates seem
more like walking billboards for the numerous corporations
showering them with money than actual politicians looking to make a
difference. Stating that “presidents are selected, not elected” isn’t
too farfetched, especially when you are a former president yourself.
There are some important points we might want to take a look at when it
comes to presidents, elections, and democracy in general.

It’s also relevant to mention here that
President Eisenhower warned us about the “military industrial complex,”
and the disastrous potential rise of a “misplaced” power that could have
great influence globally, and on humanity in general. JFK also warned
us about those willing to capitalize on secrecy. He stated that “there
is very grave danger that an announced need for increased security will
be seized upon by those anxious to expand its meaning to the very limits
of official censorship and concealment.” (source)(source)
