    At some point in history, voting was about picking the best, most qualified candidate.

    In recent years, voting has become picking the person that makes the other color lose.

    I got some bad news for you buddy

    This issue is not recent by any stretch of the imagination.

    Also the founding fathers sucked and were constantly drunk slave holders.

      Hey now, let a man have his drink now and again, or we’ll put another tax on whiskey.

      The best Founding Fathers were the abolitionists among them, though. Most of the slave-holders who shat up the founding are long-forgotten by popular culture, except for Jefferson and Madison.
