When you have 2 phony political parties that are bought out by corporate lobbyists...51% is not a mandate...61% is not a mandate...no frigging official vote is a mandate in such a phony $ySStem.

I guess Big Brother had a mandate in 1984 too, didn't he? And Joe Stalin. In their case it was more like 99%. Big deal.

Those who actually believe this $ySSTem is a real democracy are dumb enough, I suppose, to deserve what they get when they vote in one bozo or the other from those 2 parties. Ah, what touching naivete! Brings a tear to the eye, it does. Bushwah uber alles!
