the thing is the media is trying to hold up this whole one-faction, two-party system by telling you that george bush got this mandate with fiftyfour percent of the vote, and you know, that just doesnt take into account the whole population of the country. they say that fifty point three percent -in the media they say- fifty point three percent of the eligible population participated in the eightyeight election, but i think it figures a hell of a lot lower then that. i mean you got to consider prisoners, we got more people incarcerated in this country than in any other country in western history, ah, non-citizens, the underage, the overage, people too old to get to the polls, people out in rural areas, people who dont have addresses. i mean to be conservative, the figure is more like thirtyfive percent. so bush got fiftyfour percent of thirtyfive percent, whats that?, eighteen percent? maybe eighteen percent of the people in this country support him. thats nothing. thats nothing, thats not a mandate. i mean the people in nazi germany had -nazi germany in 1932- the nazis had maybe thirtyfour, thirtyeight percent. and ah, somebody like pinochet, whos already out of there, back in chile, that guys got maybe thirtyfour, fourtythree percent of the vote, so eighteen percent is nothing. it just seems like one day its going to dawn on everybody that this large, non-voting, majority has been winning every election for the past three decades, and the people who win these elections are going to be too ashamed, or better yet, too afraid, to even take power at all. linklater's slacker, 1989 |

I think the people who support bush are in denial, or are incredibly ignorant. |
