I am without a doubt, unequivocably, unapologetically, and enthusiastically voting for Obama in Nov!

35. that is a quite reasonable take

What a shame that these 2 are so-called best that a nation of 310 million and its uber-corrupt political system of bought-and-paid-for hollow little people can offer up.

The 2 party sham system guarantees a horrid outcome for the vast majority of its citizens. The systemic controllers sit back and laugh at the kabuki theatre that they have wrought.

The argument that the two parties should represent opposed ideals and policies, one, perhaps, of the Right and the other of the Left, is a foolish idea acceptable only to the doctrinaire and academic thinkers. Instead, the two parties should be almost identical, so that the American people can "throw the rascals out" at any election without leading to any profound or extreme shifts in policy.
