      What choice?

      Choosing between ketchup or mustard on your shit sandwich does you no good, if you don’t want a shit sandwich in the first place.

      If you’re not giving me a no-shit-sandwich option, why the hell should I reward you with my support?

        Then you’re choosing to allow others to decide for you.

        No matter how you look at it- you’re making a decision on who runs America- and your choices are:

        Democracy, or End Of Democracy.

        Vote to pick one, or don’t vote and one is picked for you. Either way- “neither” isn’t an option.

        It might be incorrect, because they don’t know your motives, but that’s the whole point of voting - showing your motives. In a voting democracy abstinence is begrudging consent to either candidate. The two party system forces this reality.

        George Carlin is dead, and I would probably laugh my ass off at the jokes he would make if he knew people were treating him like some kind of prophet.

        ROFL. Invoking a long dead COMEDIAN to illustrate a very current and very serious issue.

        If that’s not a perfect example of a schoolyard gotcha!

        I don’t know what is.
