politics as usual
As long as the dumbshit American electorate keeps voting for the Democans and Republicrats we're going to keep on getting screwed. Elect the libs, and the damned gov't sucks you dry in taxes to subsidise the drones; elect the antediluvians and the big-biz types will suck you dry while the bible-thumpers try to cram their versions of morality down everyone's throats.

But the drones keep selling their votes in exchange for a cut of other peoples' money, the suits keep buying politicians -- with other peoples' money -- and the bible-thumpers sell their votes in exchange for a chance at the govt't's Big Stick to club all those wrong-thinking people into submiision

Divide and conquer, and we _all_ lose.

I'd love to be able to suggest an alternative, but who is there to vote for? Socialists are libs squared, Communists are libs cubed, Greens are so busy hugging trees and hating humans they don't have time for much else, and Libertarians seem fairly sensible, thereby guaranteeing that no-one trusts them.
