Fixin' to make some popcorn and watch the first debate tonight.
got muh bong ready
but
LSD cyanide pills would be more appropriate to watch this one methinks
FTFY.Seriously,
who cares? It’s just entertainment.
Meaningless. Lowbrow vulgar entertainment, at that.
D’oh! Another American cultural export.
Only stupid, ill-informed, apathetic people vote in these rigged systems. Mass-propaganda tells you the opposite, so as to keep you engaged like a hamster running on a wheel. If you were to snap out of the illusion and see the system for what it is, then maybe you could find a real way to change it. —But then, you would actually need to care. It is too much trouble. Watching a debate and then ticking a box in a voting booth grants you the pretense of caring, with no risk and no real expenditure of effort! You apathetic, lazy, passive little slave.
More better edit: My irony meter was so numb that I failed to note the appropriateness of combining mind-killing drugs with a circus designed to fool you and keep you under control. Televised democracy is the
opium hallucinogen of the masses—and yes, why yes, I am very pointedly cribbing Marx there.
