And I’m getting pretty tired of how deep in Barak’s Tank you’ve sunk. So they’ve made your vote - all our votes - meaningless, so what? You get to pretend they haven’t and that’s all that counts. To you, a vote between 2 all but identical candidates is “awesomely effective”, never mind that the voting mechanisms in many states are a shambles or that policy choices are dictated by outside interests or that the evidence is mounting that both candidates are more than slightly conservative, more than slightly beholden to corporate and financial interests.

Just because you drank the KoolAde doesn’t mean the rest of us have to. Voting per se doesn’t mean very much in a rigged election. But apparently the rigging isn’t important to you as long as the kabuki goes on.

If you’re really “trying not to have too many more posts today”, why don’t you curb your output just a tad? I doubt we’d miss 7 or 8 of the 20 posts you’ll write about how wonderful Obama is and what a grand Horse Race the primaries are and how big a skunk Hillary is. After, oh, I don’t know, 200 or 300 of these things we’ve all pretty much heard it before, yah know?

Pick up a gun and start a revolution already otherwise, get over it.

I’m pretty much getting sick of the hissy fits.

Oh…

I’m sorry

I forgot

you would have people not vote because that would be… Awesomely effective.

I mean…

If we all stopped voting, damn we would be free then right?
