'Should I donate to DU?' conundrum...

And on edit: 'Both' has everything to do with it - none of us, no one on the planet, is actually faced with the choice you present. If we were, if anyone was forced to choose between 'buy something/anything nonessential' vs. 'Obama wins', then the choice would be Obama. But that situation absolutely doesn't exist, which is why everyone on this thread decided to point out the fallacy of your little gotcha game, and which is what you've apparently decided to run away from rather than engage in actual discussion. I'm sort of embarrassed for you, to be honest.
