Obama Not Revolution or Hope
Americans are Idiots
Since when do we have the vote after Help America Vote Act 2002? Since when is Obama a worker? Does it matter that Obama is a republican in all his votes except for ONE against torture and that almost none of his appealing rhetoric, and there was plenty that was very Reaganesque or Bush(shrub)-esque, matches his pro-zionist, pro-military, pro-corporate, pro-globalization, pro-occupation, pro-slash and burn of worker rights ACTIONS via his VOTES in Congress as a Senator. Americans of the U.S. are idiots. Revolution does NOT ever in all history come from the top. Most of you are absolutely brainwashed, which is why Obama was installed and it worked.
Oh, some other ranty commentary, we're allowed to do that in real democracies--even as unwritten rules, since when has the United States ever been a "democracy". Winner, money, and majority take all are NOT democracy. Socialism is democracy, direct representation is democracy, instant run-off voting is democracy, diverse parties are democracy, mandatory political participation, very short term limits, pay that matches the worker living wages is democracy. No corporate money at all is democracy. Decentralized media ownership and control is democracy. Democracy is not at all about leaders or celebrities--not in the slightest--not ever. You're mostly very bamboozled and this fake election and the pathetic responses of the masses are even more disappointing than I imagined these might be.
If you think Nancy Pelosi, worth well over $100M and therefore NOT a worker, is disappointing, you've not seen anything yet.
Cheers,
