I love this.
Part of the game of the 1-party system is to guilt you into participating in the charade by beating the mantra drum of "you have a responsibility to vote."
So those of us who have moved well beyond perfunctorily casting our zombie "vote" into the dreadnought are branded "irresponsible."
Ludi is a member of the group I call "Card Carrying Democrats". They're very similar to "Card Carrying Republicans". They believe that the solution to the problem is more of THEIR party. Despite Clinton passing NAFTA, Bush starting wars, Obama continuing wars, and all of the helping to bankrupt the country, CCDs and CCRs really truly believe that, if THEIR guy/gal gets in, things will be better. Or less worse. But it never happens.
It is a remarkable study in human psychology to observe CCDs defending Obama just as CCRs defended Bush.
Obama has made Bush proud.
Yet, the CCRs aren't happy with Obama. They should be.
And the CCDs aren't unhappy with Obama. They should be.
Why aren't they?
Because they cast their vote, by golly, and that makes them good citizens.
I would have loved to meet the equivalent in the CCCP.
"Vut do you mean you no vote? Me? Me vote for Brezhnev. It me duty."
