the unwary and uniterested

"the convention...have directed the president to be chosen by select bodies of electors to be deputed by the people for that express purpose; and they have committed the appointment of senators to the state legislatures. this mode has, in such cases, vastly the advantage of elections by the people in their collective capacity where the activity of party zeal, taking advantage of the supineness, the ignorance, and the hopes and fears of the unwary and uninterested, often places men in office by the votes of a small proportion of the electors." the federalist LXVI ( john jay )____________________pardon me, but if i read jay's ravings correctly he has laid out the exact blueprint for every election this country has seen in the last 226 years...he joins in propagating a disdainfully low opinion of the capacities of the "electors" ( you and me folks ) and their herd-like mentality which allows them to be led by the nose with demagoguery...something of a vanguardist approach whereby the wiser heads of the elite keep things running in a manner that equates their interests with the interests of the nation and behooves the rabble to do its bit to protect those prerogatives without foolish populist disruptions...one wonders how they might react to an alleged member of that elite relying on demagoguery and populist resentment to run a campaign for high office..not that the rest of these "candidates" are any less members of that elite...could you have stopped river traffic on the hudson for two hours for your daughter's wedding reception? hillary did...a direct interference with interstate commerce...the holy of constitutional holies...she is no more representative of my interests than than fucking reagan was...none of them are...and that is the point of the whole system...to insure the elite is the only class represented in politics and that their interests continued to be pursued at any and every level...it's just that this round's crop of whores is so blatantly dead set against the interests of the majority that even the unwary and uninterested are beginning to take notice...could go one of two ways...an influx of newly energized voters...or a resounding apathy...either way the elite wins...the system is rigged...it was rigged in 1789...hamilton beams down from whore heaven.
