A similarly skewfucked democracy was evident across the internet this week as over 98% of the views on the US Presidential election were pro-Obama (or anti-Romney). That's quite a staggering statistic and the deep, institutionalised conformity saddens me a little.
Admittedly this is based on my own Facebook friends and Twitter feeds, but you'd think that there might be a little more balance, wouldn't you? Especially given that I'm not instinctively sympathetic to the Democratic Party.
The actual result was - as I predicted - a routine Obama win with only a couple of States changing colour but some of the shit people were coming out with was quite baffling.
'If you don't vote for Obama you shouldn't be allowed to vote!11one1'
'Don't let that dangerous nutter get his finger on the nuclear button!11republicanseatbabies11'...
'Well done America, you made the right decision!11fourmoreyears1'...
And so on.
