The Waldo Moment was the best episode


It's even better now after Donald Trump won the election. This is why democracy is flawed, in a nutshell.

I realized today though that it probably was based on Triump the Insult Comic Dog. Brilliant episode in every way, hands down.

Ironically, democracy worked just fine -- the people chose Donald Trump's opponent. It's the anti-democratic institution, the EC, that determined Trump would be president.

And I'm sure at some point in the future when your candidate wins the EC but loses the popular vote you will flip-flop and call the EC the greatest protector of democracy ever.

This election was about voting against the status quo. The vote against it for the republicans was done in the primaries by selecting Trump over the establishment rinos, as it was for the dems, except Hillary stole the nomination from Bernie, only to get her payback later. The votes for Trump were in most part votes againbnst whan Hilary and the rest represented, and if you toss in the bump that Johnson got over the typical 1% Lib turnout, then you can give both the popular vote and another 40 or so EC votes to Trump. Those who will suffer the most from this election are the parasites who have inhabited government offices for decades.
