How much power does the 'king of america' really have? How much do they effect a country through their actions compared to the rest of the political apparatus?
They have an effect, but not enough of one to justify the level of collective hysteria we experience every four years.

I don't understand your problem with this. It's always interesting to know where SV's movers and shakers stand on various issues, and if you ever have to socialize with them, you'll know what views to express.
I really hope you didn't mean that in the completely pathetic way that it sounded. Group think is a great way to fit in but certainly isn't a good way to stand out.

#14Remember, HN, that the only way to success in startups is by slavishly following everything successful people do. Sit/stand desks, nerf guns, free food, and voting Obama. You heard it here first.

I think he's sort of joking.
Unfortunately, it seems to have gone over most people's heads.

They appoint Supreme Court Justices. Those appointments decide our constitutional rights for decades or centuries. For that reason alone, it's worth all the fuss.
