Why is everyone so surprised?

For the last few months as everyone has rallied around their candidate of choice - some becoming nearly rabid over the issues, I've said time and time again, the electoral system is so corrupt and the elections are a sham providing the masses with a distraction and the allusion of power as they vote. The reality is that we have no power through participating in the electoral process.

Now everyone who's candidate didn't win tonight, or last week, is screaming "voter fraud" and seems so shocked that perhaps their votes really aren't worth the paper they are cast on - if indeed there is a paper trail, which there probably isn't.

Wake up people. We lost this country 8 years ago.
