This race is a tempest in a teapot. People will interpret many contradictory things and see much validation for and against the national system.

See? We can get candidates in office who want to change things.

Only the corrupt and evil are elected.

The democrats are self defeating.

This candidate, even if he is a good politician, cannot change a helplessly broke system. He was a rare fluke who will achieve nothing.

Ultimately, his winning or losing will not affect anything. Federally, there are broken things that cannot be changed.

There is no chance at reform nationwide, by any mechanism, until things I do not understand change significantly for many people.

Being honest about how broken something is; is not defeatism, but a healthy reality check. But seeing that is very hard for many, which is why people talk instead about this broken person.

It’s easier to talk about this war criminal who probably has many hidden scandals waiting to be unearthed, than it is to talk about the futility of his election
