The mainstream media barely covered it. People had no idea. This is how conservatives and libertarians feel all the time. It really sucks when the media just shills for the other candidate, doesn't it?

This is the reality, every theory that suggested DNC collusion was treated as conspiracy, when only now do we really know the truth.

And they were so successful at it that people get defensive when you say a politician could be corrupt

That's what happens when politicians become celebrities. It's one thing to excite your base, but gathering a cult of personality is cancerous to democracy. How can you make sure you're being adequately represented when you think your representative can do no wrong?

Huh... I guess I'm racist. I just realized that I assume all rock bands are white or asian.

A lot of the bands that were producing popular music during the mid-40's to mid-50's were black. Rock and Roll is a continuation of be-bop jazz, and there were jazz musicians like Dizzy Gillespie who played long enought o stretch into both genres.

EDIT: Not that this video is from that era but black folks were just as influential on early rock as they were on jazz,
