That’s pretty well much it. But…if you want some detail, well, look, this is a multi billion dollar election between two established political blocks to see who has more authority over the brutish US empire. I have seen some good arguments that Obama is not a lesser evil in that his political skills make the selling of US policy easier, but overall I think he is the lesser all the same, because bubbling up in the GOP are basically crypto-fascists. If Romney wins it will be due to the GOP stealing the election, I am pretty sure Obama has in vote terms, but since 2000 that had not been the only factor to decide. So look, we’d all like a decent person in the oval office, not one with a kill list or their income offshored so they had more money to spend on their dancing horse. But this is the shitty world we live in and we get bad choices, so make ‘em and then take a week off, then…the time to build that third party or insurgent Dem left is right, it’s no good just announcing candidates near the time, build now and one election, maybe in decades, that not quite so awful person may get to wrestle the hands of empire from the terrible two. That’s if we all live that long, frankly the world needs a US that believes in science and not being so killy all the fucking time. In fact that would be good in any country, less killy. You know?
