> My logic is that we have no, as in zero, control over the entire apparatus Did you vote?

  Of course... but I didn't vote for a donkey nor an elephant. 5% or so of us did that. The rest just watch the media that supports their side and votes for the party to which they have declared allegiance. It is an absolutely brilliant system if you are an elite.

    I am assuming that your sarcastic reply means you did not vote for Clinton or Trump. So essential you wasted your vote in a winner take all system.

      Technically it is not wasted unless that one person's vote would have changed the outcome. A pattern of people not voting, however, could tip the scales one way or another.

  Had I voted, every candidate I would have voted for would have lost.
