youtu.be/QaURR2NFf1E Voting is a Scam (Jim Ostrowski, walking monologue) Jim argues voting is a canard that gives you essentially zero real control. Key points: • Elections are rigged long before Election Day. Government controls K–12 (and beyond) education, so it brainwashes voters. Teachers’ unions function as Democratic shock troops. Special-interest machines, campaign cash, media favoritism, and ballot-access/election-law tactics further lock in outcomes. Your single vote almost never decides anything. • What’s on the menu is limited and usually irrelevant. Compare free-market choices (dozens of restaurants/apps) to the narrow political ballot. What you actually want is rarely offered, and parties routinely fail to deliver even on their stated platforms (e.g., decades of GOP “smaller government” rhetoric). • The “vote or you can’t complain” line is propaganda. Vote for the winner, loser, third party, or stay home—the system still claims you consented. Real consent requires a realistic ability to withhold it. The myth of “consent of the governed” props up power. • Direct action beats voting. Walking, exiting government schools, voting with your feet, health choices, jury nullification, etc., actually move the needle for you and society. Politics is a rigged game; the progressive ideology embedded by schools has dominated for a century. He points to his books (especially Progressivism: A Primer) for the fuller case. Punchy takeaway for X: Elections are theater. The real contest is over minds, exit, and daily choices—not the ballot box.
