more generally, i would say that this is a good time to shut off your fucking television, stop relying on the circulation of lint that passes as "politics" on the 24/5 "news" channels, figure out what you think the present state of affairs in and with the united states is, read what the candidates are proposing to do or not do about them and then make an informed choice as to who to vote for.
what passes for politics in the states is painfully idiotic.
and it is a depressing thought that we still have 3 months to go in the context of which discussion about issues and relative merits of candidates will in all probability drowned out by the lint issuing from the televisual fuckwit class.
we don't need to be dominated: we do it to ourselves.
