Rant. A fucking Newsweek article didn't give a link to the poll. I had to google. God, do I hate that.

Remember when we all thought democracy meant we could have any leader we wanted, rather than a choice between a slightly slowed progression into the abyss vs diving headfirst into it?
The lib I work with....in the same sitting he'll tell me that no you can't have what you want, realistically it'll be this guy or the other guy, and then when I tell him we don't have a democracy we have a monarchy with a choice between two political dynasties he'll insist on 'but what if the people want someone else'. He can somehow comfortably believe in two entirely opposing beliefs.
The fun part is you also don't get to know which candidate is which (slow progression vs. dive head first).
