We should all be aware of the fact that Ronald Reagan was elected
by ~25% of those qualified to vote, and that he was elected by
the whitest, oldest, richest and most male group of voters
to vote in recent history.

The only way the privileged can keep their control of the White
House is to convince the unprivileged that they may as well just
stay home, there ain't no use to go vote.

And the only problem I have with that is that I suspect that that's
right.  With the prospect of choosing between Ray-gun and Fritz facing
me, my level of apathy is reaching terminal proportions.

Why haven't we had a decent president (or even candidate) since
Kennedy?
