I so want to be in the Al Gore timeline. Bush picked up 3 electoral votes by lying to Nevada about yucca mountain, Ralph Nader siphoned off Dem votes, and one of the 'stop the count' rioters is now on the supreme court. Fuck the nazi bastard Rush Limbaugh who went from 1 station to 50 with no advertisers. Fuck Rupert Murdoch who got US citizenship just to by more media outlets. Fuck Scalito. Fuck the 'both sides' mainstream media. Fuck the washington post, its credibility died when KMG did. Fuck the repubs who pretended to care so much about little Elian. I swear to god I'm still in one of the matrix battery pods. Get me out of here Morpheus.
Fun fact: if 1% of the Florida Nader voters had instead voted for Al Gore instead, Bush wouldn't have been President.
This is why it's important not to protest vote 3rd party in the General election.
I can feel your justified rage from here, but...
I'm in stitches. Didn't see that one coming. And yes, I too am willing to ascend into a greater world of Gnostic horror; it might not be so bad.
