If the elections are rigged, what good would uniting do? 

It’s not the rigging of elections and “voter fraud” that’s the problem. By the time we head to the polls “Big Money” has already bought and paid for our two candidates. Two friggin candidates!! Call that choice? Buddy Romer and Gary Johnson couldn’t even get into the debates. We have a choice between neoliberal candidate A who is in bed with the banks and Wall Street and neoliberal candidate B who is bed with big business and, well, the banks and Wall St. Look, and this also goes for Pamela Candy’s post below, the losing side always claims they were cheated by voter fraud. Remember 2000? Remember 2004 when Kerry claimed Bush stole Ohio? Is kerry’s claim any more or less valid than Romney’s?

Besides, as we get farther away from the election and the real electoral totals emerge, Obama’s margin of victory keeps widening. And he even won without Florida, whose governor did everything he could to purge the voting rolls. It’s okay, though, in four years we’ll do it all again. Unless, that is, Snowleopard’s apocalyptic predictions actually come true this time around.  

Now, it’s clear you folks don’t like that, but it doesn’t mean there was fraud or it was fixed.  What it means is that the overwhelming majority of people in this country simply do no subscribe to the same sort of looney views that you hold.  I totally understand that that is a difficult thing to accept, and that it’s causing some of you to lose it, but that is the truth, plain and simple.
