Thread Name: BS: 2012 Presidential Election
Subject: RE: BS: 2012 Presidential Election
Whoever wins, the election will be a farce. The system is broken. The votes will probably be rigged as in Bush v. Gore.

"Citizens United" has ruined our democracy.

The "lesser of two evils" view predominates political thinking in the US today as it has in the past.

Solution:
1. Boycott products made by corporations that infuse money into candidates.
2. Don't listen to Mainstream Media and expect to have valid information. Seek alternate    sources.
3. Be careful of religious jingoism such as "anti-Christ" or anti-gay talk.
4. Work locally in your community to change the system.
5. Speak out against oppression.
6. When voting, don't expect too much. Do it because it's the American thing to do.
6. Woody used to say, "This machine licks fascists". More songs!
