“The average citizen has absolutely none (no role in the elections). If you just reflect on the immense amount of money that’s being spent on the campaigns, two billion dollars by each candidate, that in and of itself indicates that the common man has no place, no role in the electoral process. I mean, our guest [another guest in the show] said that we don’t have control that we have lost control, well, we never had control,” said Darnell Summers with the Berlin-based Institute for Cultural Diplomacy (ICD) in a recent Press TV interview.
Summers stressed that the United States has always been and continues to be a ‘slavocracy’ as the common American has never had the power to influence the country’s political process ever since the establishment of the state.

So why spend Billions (with a capital B) on trying to persuade the general public to cast a vote which makes no difference in the outcome? It is ALL about maintaining the Illusion of Choice. Of course, maybe this is a GOOD thing. Maybe. And just maybe the majority of the Electorates of the Electoral College will vote Ron Paul? Maybe. But even if they all did vote for Ron Paul, even those votes would be invaidated by the Status Quo.
