Voting in the US reminds me of that old parenting tactic of an illusion of choice for kids who don&#x27;t want to go to sleep: &quot;Do you want to wear the blue pajamas or the red pajamas?&quot;<p>Feeling empowered by having a say in the completely unimportant choice of pajamas, he is going to sleep whether he actually wants to or not. Ina similar manner, whoever you vote for, some foreign country is getting invaded and bombed for strategic or political reasons.
