I shudda known. The worst thing about
being an idealist is that those ideals inevitably crash around you,
scattering flaming fragments on your clothes, your balding head, your
naked eyeballs. The corrupt NY primary is over. The winner was the
corrupt presidential candidate. Could it be anything else?
It's been almost half a century since there
HASN'T been a Clintonbush somewhere among the top three “elected”
officials. President, Vice President, Secretary of State...
SOMETHING. I didn't think it would be any different this time. I just
DREAMED it would be different. The NY primary awakened me from that
dream.
The Banana Republic of America with its
2-family rule is not going to change. Not in my lifetime, nor in
Chelsea Clinton's nor in whatever Bush-spawns'. Rosencrantz and
Gilderstern, Mutt and Jeff, Tweedledum and Tweedledee. It's over.
Three hundred million serfs and two sovereigns.
The outcome is predictable. Those who
sit out the next election, stay home, jerk off, finish that six
pack... I understand you completely. Voting's in my blood.. like
eating matzoh on Passover...So I'm gonna do it. Probably a write
in... Sid Yiddish or Bernie Sanders himself. I urge those who do not
live in swing states to make sure you don't vote for Clintonbush.
Your vote won't mean much in the presidential election, (NO ONE'S
vote will mean much in the presidential election) but it'll give you a
moral right to say: DON'T BLAME ME. When she drops the drones on
Syria or Ukraine.
If you live in a swing
state you have to make your own decision. Vote for Clintonbush or
take away from her votes. I will not tell you how to vote... you have
to make the tough choice. I can tell you that I would NOT vote for
her-- even if I lived in Florida. I would not vote for either ruling
family in any election... any place... anywhere. In this election,
the Republican candidate cannot win, no matter who it is. And even if he
did win, it wouldn't be a Clintonbush-- so you get a bonus right there. (Although one of
the evil spawn would likely be appointed to some high position.)
For me, it's most important that Clintonbush
knows we're not behind her. We see through the tricks... we're
victims of those tricks, but we're AWARE victims... not WILLING
victims. Writing in Sanders or Sid sends that
message. If you're in a swing state and feel you don't want to be
responsible for a Trump or a Cruz, I respect your decision, but it
wouldn't be mine.
Here in New York (or in Mississippi, or
in Oregon, or in Massachusetts or any other “solid red” or “solid
blue” state), there's no excuse for voting for Clintonbush. Those
of you unlucky enough to be in one of the swing states... you gotta
do what you think is right. I don't envy you.
