Let’s just sit this election out

The New World Order with its three branches of U.S. government: The Petroleum branch, The Insurance branch and The Pharmaceutical branch.

They will have the sit-down talk with Sen. Bernie Sanders if he is elected and it would go as follows: We admire your ideological hyperbole but this is how we run things around here. Super PAC politics will not sit still when there is money to be made from war, prisons, drugs and human trafficking.

So, again, I call for a boycott of the vote until at which time the people take the power back and reform the corrupt system we now enjoy. Not voting is a vote of dissatisfaction. Let’s stop the illusion of democracy and strive for freedom.

Leonard Andrenacci, North Fork
