Well, let's see: I could have voted for the Green Party candidate (Jill Stein), who was practically unknown; or I could have voted for Mitt Romney (regurgitating noises); and you weren't running.
We keep trying to elect the Perfect and then get shocked when the flaws appear. I have taken to asking "for whom will I have to hold my nose and for whom will I have to cover my entire face with cement?"
Mr. Obama's actions anger me. Mr. Romney's (hypothetical) actions would have made me suicidal.
What it all came down to was, "Who would you rather vote for/against? The one who will suddenly push you over the cliff and get the farce over with or the one who'll drag you slowly to the edge over the next eight years?"
The answer I keep getting from those who'd voted for one monolithic party or another is, "I could've voted for the unknown" or "I could've wasted a vote on the green party candidate..." without once realizing that if we all voted like me, we wouldn't be in half the shit we are today. The pitiful state of third parties in this country only goes to show the entrenched apathy on our part that refuses to give alternative parties a foothold. Apathy on the part of others does not nor should be a reason for continued running to one party or the other. There's your Goddamned wasted vote because there really is not the slightest difference between the Republicans and Democrats save for the color of their jerseys.
Who could have imagined that Bush the Lesser is now viewed more favorably than when he left office, including by an increasing number of Democrats?
Wasn't me I voted Green and will from now on.
A man after my own heart.
