That last frame was me. But I learned. After 1980 I never again underestimated the US voter.

Well, it’s not totally our fault. Our elections offer choices between two losers. Inevitably, a loser wins.

Again, Americans miss the point: There is no such thing as democratic rights!
Living in a democracy does not mean you have the right to vote for people you like and not vote if you don’t like the candidates.
You have a democratic DUTY, if you live in a democracy. If none of the candidates available represent you, and you honestly believe that a majority wants something else then it is your duty to get politically active and run against them.
And if you feel that ‘the system’ will not permit that, then you need to fight for a new system.
If you are not running against the existing candidates, then you have no right to complain about them either.

40% of the American electorate doesn’t vote in presidential elections for a good reason. NONE OF THESE CAPITALIST CLOWNS REPRESENT US, AND THEY NEVER WILL! These elections are a sham, as is this sham democracy we live under. This is the decade when young people throw off the goodcop/badcop tag team that keeps the rest enthralled. It’s nearing revolution time, and i’m ready. Workers to power!

…and after that you can’t believe that Reagan could get REelected. He already had Alzheimer’s. He took naps every afternoon. (still had time to gut the middle class, tho)

Condi a close friend of yours? Good work posting anonymous comments quoting stuff out of context.
And how are you with all the drone kills? Or is it okay to be racist against Arabic people?
If I knew any people working for horrible Republicans I’d be disgusted with them too. No matter what color they were. Accomplices to murder and you’re fussing about semantics. Disgusting.

The REPUBLICAN supreme court APPOINTED Le (alcoholic) Moron Stupide….Gore had already won and they didn’t want Fla’s vote count to cement it.
