74. I don't agree. It will be the Koch Crime Family vs. Bush Family Evil Empire in the preliminary event

I don't think the upstart Kochs can defeat the BFEE. Then it will be the Oligarch Thing 1 vs. Oligarch Thing 2 in the main event. Oligarchs win either way. But we can be certain that we still are free because they let us record our vote. It may go directly into a shredder, but at least they give us the courtesy of allowing us to pretend. If they didn't, people might get upset.
