Neither candidate will end the war.
Neither candidate will pull out the troops.
Neither candidate will do a damn thing about corporate influence.
Neither candidate gives a flying fuck about election reform.
Neither candidate will go anywhere near even slapping Israel on the wrist.
Neither candidate would know the meaning of the word 'progressive' if it came up and bit them in the ass.
And the list goes on.
In short, anyone who thinks either of these folks will do ONE DAMN THING except put down new carpet and tell you the house is fixed is the proud owner of self righteous ignorance.
You can either ignore the 800 lb. gorilla and pretend that is really The Tooth Fairy, or you can take the first steps necessary to get rid of it once and for all.
Your choice.
Just remember, though, that pretending doesn't count.
