What this election cycle demonstrates has little to do with the candidates. They are simply a reflection of where the American people are. They aren't the problem... WE are.

Trump, Clinton, and Sanders all have millions of supporters who've made a decision, conscious or not, to ignore their candidates deceptions, lies, corruption, and lack of integrity. Why is that? Because we need to.

Do we ever ask ourselves how it is that what we personally believe is right and all who disagree are wrong? We cannot ALL be right 100% of the time, yet we talk and act as if we are. That's ego, and that's the human condition.

The ego cares not about truth, it simply fights tooth and nail to support and defend that which our identity is wrapped around. Our environment, experiences, and influences create for us our own false reality. The human mind/ego is driven to prove itself righteous. Every atrocity in human history has come as a result of mans ego convincing him that his every thought was truth.
