Questions for American Atheists

[Reforged]

Not really an answer to my question but ok. A choice should be as varied as life is, in this case it isn't. It never is. Its always one dickhead and one okish guy. Why?
You know, I don't have all of the answers. I know that but that doesn't make the questions any less valid.
Certainly doesn't give you the right to brand me as a conspiracy theorist when I've implied nothing more than that the elections are too one sided to seriously be considered a choice.

You make it far too easy for the folks that want to concentrate all the wealth in the hands of a few or sell weapons to win. It isn't about picking out a flavor of ice cream you like. People are dying and living conditions are getting worse. It isn't just about getting what you want. Chasing the pigs out of the trough and keeping the hawks from killing off the neighbor's chicks still needs doing.

You get many options in almost every walk of life but when it comes to how your country is going to be governed what choice do you get? Two, maybe three candidates? To govern an entire country, thats your choice.
Really? That doesn't strike anyone as ridiculous?

Now take that choice and make it so its between a racist, rich white guy and a likable, charasmatic black guy.
Is the first one really an option for anyone with a sane thought in their head? No, of course not. Obama could be into beastiality/S&M and he'd *still* be the better choice.
Now take into account both candidates will make their decisions based on what their contributers request before anything else, breaking any election promises they made if it comes into conflict.

Is the choice your left with anything but an empty gesture?

"I've implied nothing more than that the elections are too one sided to seriously be considered a choice."

Beg to differ. You went a bit further than merely to suggest that. Your bombast may be interfering with your points.

"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."

Which part of that is a conspiracy theory?
Who in their right mind would pick Romney? Or McCain? Theres not *that* many retards out there. You're left with one candidate, just one.
How easy would it be to open up elections to more candidates? Instead of choosing between two or three you'd choose between six. Thats a choice.
Then you're never left with having to choose based purely on who you thinks less of a dick. Odds are there would be at least one who actually has the interests of the country at heart instead of honoring the numerous deals and handshakes they made to get where they are.
Doesn't happen, why not?
