I am beginning to wonder of Al Gore hasn’t REALLY figured the whole thing out.
The political system is broken, and both parties are so beholden to Corp money that there is only ONE THING more important to them than what their owners want.
And what is that?
Votes.
And the popular opinion that drives them.
The reason they need Corp money in the first place is to buy the media clout to produce votes. To win. To be there at the finish line first.

Here we are at the most recent running of the President’s Cup. The weather is stormy and the track is REALLY sloppy, but it looks as if they are going to run the race anyway.
AND THEY’RE OFF AND RUNNING HERE AT ELECTORAL PARK!!!

Yes Brad, I’m here. This horse seems to have thrown off its jockey and it bridle and saddle and will not let its previous trainers within 40 feet of him. He is on the phone with…yes, it appears that he is on the phone with the BETTORS!!! UNHEARD OF!!! Let me see if I can get closer to him.
Al!!! Oh…AL!!!
Yes. He seems ready to make a statement.
Here it is.
Who wants to win races anyway? I have all the oats I need now. On the evidence, maybe even a few too many.
If approached about the idea of a draft by the Democratic powers-that-be, my simple answer will be…

Revolutionary.
As in 1776.
Maybe he DID invent the internet.
