The US presidential elections ARE NOT FAIR by design.

Hmmm...let's establish the election date on a Tuesday. Let's avoid the week-end at all csts. Let's do it on a day when people would have to beg for time off from an employer so they can go vote.

And let's see...what kind of people would be more likely to have the flexibility and the possibility to screw the job for a few hurs and go vote? What kind of people would be most likely to have to work two jobs, have no private transporation and hence write off voting in the first place?

Let's make a country as skewed and biased towards the privileged as we possibly can, let's fool the suckers into thinking that they TOO are part of the "privileged"... and then let's play democracy.

I am so sick of the right-wingering of the US in absolutely everything it does, that honestly I am not going to shed any more tears over the people who lose their jobs, the suckers that get decapitated in Iraq, the soldiers who lose their limbs and lives, their families who whine over losing their sons in war yet vote for the same imbecile redneck who keeps them there in the first place, the middle-classes who work themselves to death only to see their living standards and quality of life a little more F***-ed every year.
