No Matter What, You Have No Sensible Choice But To Vote For The Empire

The Reality Based Community is really fucking sure that you must vote to support their Dear Leader.  Under no circumstances can you even consider another possibility.  That's the way apparatchiks roll.  The sane, the reasonable, the sensible, the smart, the only choice is to follow the leader and do as you are told.  No other choice makes sense.  Nothing is a deal-breaker, because Dear Leader is the only possible choice.

Now, of course, Mittens has been a dick all his life, and his pathetic six-year campaign for the presidency has done more to boost Obama than anything Obama has done.  A man with fewer principles than Obama, Mittens is doing everything in his power to prove that he does not represent a reasonable choice to continued Obama policies.  Had he shown himself to be anything but a total empty-headed fuckwad, the 2012 election could have played out much differently.  Unfortunately, he promises to continue everything bad about Obama's policies and fuck up everything else. 

That does not preclude other choices, and certainly does not preclude an honest, reality-based analysis of Obama's first term.  Unfortunately, Michael O'Hare is not really interested.  Anyone who willfully misrepresents what really happened during the 2000 election--or is not capable of understanding--is not worthy of serious consideration as an analyst.  The zombie lie that Nader cost Gore the election in Florida is a favorite of Democratic Party apparatchiks everywhere.  And it is exactly that: a lie.  Because it absolves their party and their candidate of culpability they cling and cling to their disingenuous ignorance.  If establishment Democrats were a bit brighter in general, then they would be a shitload more sceptical regarding the steady diet of bullshit that their Dear Leaders jam down their throats each and every hour of every day.

As long as our choices suck in general, and as long as most people aren't capable of or willing to decide for themselves, the political shitshow we call the United States will never get any better.  The Imperial Oligarchy wins, and everyone else in the world loses.
