Imagine a drunk, pillled up prostitute whose lower half is protruding ass-first up and out of a gutter storm-drain in the middle of a poorly-lit street, professional-looking men in tailored suits holding stacks of papers and briefcases full of money lined up sticking their dicks in her ass and her pussy, and both holes are overflowing with dollar bills, chewed up mcdonald's meals and paychecks - and there's this unbearable shit-smelling, smoky foulness in the air. All you can hear is ringing cellphones, paul oakenfold mix-tapes and advertisements that blend in with one another. That is my current vision of what the American public is. That's America.

Maybe they deliberately set it up so everyone's choice is: woman vs black man vs white guy And they know from some simple prejudice statistics that the white guy is guaranteed to win, and the others are included for the illusion of choice.

Many thanks.

Why vote then? It's about 50-50, so whoever votes for the losing candidate has just wasted a vote anyway.

Yeah. And it all ties back to (misunderstood) individualism.
"Imagined communities" is a fitting description of the current American state.

if you want to know what America is, power on the television with Comcast digital cable,
my favorites - Super Sweet 16 Bling - 2012 Conspiracy theories - Braveheart - Family Guy - Blah blah blah
The fall of America is painful to watch and be a part of.

I think Hilary Putnam is a way better candidate than either of them.
