The belief in question is the American Dream. The American Dream is not the real deal, it is the ideal we tell ourselves is the actual truth, while it isn't. So, yes, belief and the American voting system are deeply entwined.

Of course there is a twist to this claim, but the claim is actually true; the Losing Party always wins.

One has to believe that the USA his a democracy, because reality tells us that it is just a two-party system. We have Red and Blue. Yellow is suppressed forever, and this time it tried to get in via Red, turning it Orange.

What we should do is remove our beliefs and look at the truth: we need the USA 2.0 upgrade. We are not a dictatorship; we are not a democracy. But we can become one, and we should.
