2. We only get to fake-vote in America
The fact that we are fake-voting suggests that we don't have the system we claim to have(but since we have no problem with supporting dictators, why should that be a surprise?).

5. It really is
as Agent Smith says in The Matrix:

"Have you ever stood and stared at it? Marveled at its beauty, its genius? Billions of people just living out their lives, oblivious. Did you know that the first Matrix was designed to be a perfect human world, where none suffered? Where everyone would be happy? It was a disaster. No one would accept the program. Entire crops were lost. Some believed we lacked the programming language to describe your perfect world. But I believe that, as a species, human beings define their reality through misery and suffering."

We can't get along, we can't work together, we can't believe in a better world. Thus we have Faux News, "fair and balanced" brought to you by the megalomaniacs who seek to profit from our lack of cohesion.

4. True.
It's sad that no one in DC is championing this cause in proportion to its seriousness.
