Because that’s what I feel right now.
I’d like to pat 2008 T&U on the head condescendingly for voting for Obama in the primary mostly because she believed he was more interested in protecting civil liberties and less of a hawk than Clinton, because (not to be all OBAMA=BUSH!11!!!11!!!!1111!!!) it really didn’t fucking matter.

It’s always a lesser of two evils deal in a “democracy.” Don’t beat yourself up over it. (I’d be willing to bet Hillary C. would’ve been at least as bad, probably worse.)
I’ve pretty much given up hope that Democrats will be anything resembling a muscular force for liberal causes. They’re significantly less evil than Republicans…but, FGS, Mark Warner was on MSNBC the other day arguing for lower corporate tax rates. I officially give up.
There’s not a dime’s worth of difference between Hillary and Barack. She’s his Secretary of

Some democracies have more evils to choose from.
Seeing how much you hate being patted on the head, can I suggest you blow a raspberry at yourself instead?

FREE MARKET BITCHEZ!
I’m totally voting for Kang next go round. Kodos was a fucking wasted vote.
I’m alive!!!!
B^4, me too. I underestimated the power that it has in conservatives’ imaginations, though; they see that as their losing point and want to go back to the culture we had before then, and that’s not going to change anytime soon, no matter the age of the candidates.
The resentful, cranky Gen Xer in me also attributes this to demographics and the fact that a large part of our culture is still centered around the Baby Boomers. Luckily, people slightly younger than me are as large a demographic and don’t give a fuck.
Still, I found it amazing how a campaign with no fucking Baby Boomers in it was STILL ABOUT THE BABY BOOMERS.
