Considering that the entire business institution that caused the economic collapse went back at least to the nineties, I don't think it's really fair to pin it on the guy who just happened to be sitting in the Hot Seat went the **** hit the fan. It's not like he single-handedly caused it. And as far as I know, the first Bush didn't really cause any kind of downturn. I don't remember if the upswing in the nineties started with him, Reagan, or Clinton, but I don't really know if he was to blame for anything.

And like 98.9% of the population of this ****ed country are going to give it anywhere near that much thought? Bush is a shoo in already with a percentage of the populace.

Hence why I don't vote. Participating in a broken system does nothing but reinforce it.

if bernie sanders wins the democratic nomination i'll vote for him

but something tells me it's gonna be that mullet headed twat instead

[Frownland]

Maybe if Bernie Sanders came out as gay, he would be more likely to get the democratic vote. Although, there still is a shot for Clinton. Who would people rather vote for in the name of equality: a woman or a gay man?

Come to think of it, Hillary coming out of the closet would work wonders for her campaign as well.

[The Batlord]

I haven't been paying attention, but do people still care about voting for equality, or whatever? I mean, we already voted in the first black president, so does the country really still feel a burning need to strike a blow for civil rights so soon? I figure we'd still be patting ourselves on the back and wondering who the next WASP president was gonna be.

[Frownland]

I think that people will still vote as a way to exemplify how "progressive" the US is getting as opposed to the candidate who they side most with.

if bernie sanders doesnt make it, then donald trump 4 prez tbh

Whenever JWB uses l33t speak, it usually makes me laugh, cause I always imagine it coming out of the mouth of the real John Wilkes Booth.
