Probably should of clarified that, my bad.
My arguement wasn't that resistance is futile, it is that we live in a demoncracy where both options lead to the same destination.
The games rigged.
All the more reason to try. Some paths are much, much worse than others. If you could avoid a 100,000 Iranians being bombed or 50,000 unfortunate US military getting wasted on another unfunded adventure, wouldn't that be worth it? I can't tell you for sure that Romney wants that, but I can tell you for sure that Obama doesn't. Come on, choke down your distaste for the whole rotten system and vote for Obama. Just in case. The lives you might save thank you.
I can see your point but the second part proves mine.
Look at the two candidates. Romney, practically neo-nazi and Obama. A nice muslim/black, clean cut, all smiling and all dancing president with a rumored ex-cia background. A perfect candidate that appeals to two communities with ease and the rest with charisma.
I mean, the choice is obvious isn't it? Infact it has been in both elections because both times the opposition were about as moral and charismatic as clan members.
This isn't a choice. In ben & jerries you can get 50+ flavors, thats a choice. This? Its a coin toss and both sides have heads on.
I'm not saying we should stop working toward democracy, I'm saying this isn't democracy.
