    Do voters of general elections who believe in the process suffer from Grandiose Illusions?

    Do they think that casting an inked piece of paper, generally aimed at an opaque ideal, suddenly persuade armed (as in armies) psychopaths to obey a hippie?

    Are they so starved of love that they believe that if complete strangers (that probably disagree) vote for the same idea / person then it means that they are part of a community?

    Smells of gambling addiction after years of being groomed by the casino, like their ballot is the winning ticket.

    • (back paddling) that was a bit extreme, of course it's not black and white, but this seems to apply quite oftensofas
    • In general I agree. Not to mention it's just an illusion of choice anyway. As if whoever gets in isn't controlled by the same governing forces.set
    • If anyone actually thinks Trump would be allowed to make all the decisions for a country as powerful as US, frankly they're blind idiots.set
    • Or even that any powerful country like that would actually allow it's people to decide the fate of the country. Get real.set
    • Politics and democracy are the biggest theatre show illusions on planet earth.set
