9. Can't let the sad sack be the enemy of the head exploding awful but we are still fucked
and getting more fucked as we raise the white flag to Reaganomics and ramped up neoconnery.

The loyalist/machine hacks are setting us up for a no win scenario. We all should have been pushing for good policies and a clear line not only from the astro turfed Teabaggers but Republicans in a traditional sense but instead we are supposed to be excited as the Cosby kids after good news and backslap our way onto corporate servitude under the "powerless" unitary executive.

I think we are heading to fuckload of fail either way but MAYBE Obama can serve as a four year holding action to allow us to throw off the yoke but continuing to pretend this kind of choice presents a real option is pretty damn close to insane.
We aren't going to vote our way out of this mess because we are only allowed to vote for pre-screened candidates who serve the establishment rather than the people.
