re: #61 Obdicut

I’m not at all charmed by Obama and the Democrats.

Doesn’t fucking matter. The GOP is goddamn insane, and needs to get kicked out of office. The Democrats are corporatist and sludgy, but they at least are in the realm of sanity; they can be reformed, cajoled. Supporting people like Warren can help do that. The GOP has nothing going for it. I do not understand any of the ideological or just plain disenchanted non-voters. In the choice between middling-bad and outright terrible, you really should choose middling bad.

I agree with the general idea, but the mindset of choosing the lesser evil is starting to leave a bad taste in my mouth. When you’ve got two parties who are so far in the pockets of Wall Street that they’re not even hiding it anymore, it’s time to start talking third party.
