Romney and Obama are both perfect representatives and embodiments of the loathsome corporatist-authoritarian-militarist system that has been killing this country -- and millions of people, both abroad and at home -- since its inception. That's why they're running for President. In terms of essentials and basic principles, it doesn't matter a damn which is elected. But Americans do love their fantasy of a "representative democracy" -- which the United States never was, and was never intended to be. There is a significant sense in which the charade of national elections (and increasingly, the charade of elections at any level) is a symptom of a deeply neurotic, delusional separation from every relevant fact, and from reality altogether.
