I should start voting Marijuana Reform Party at local elections out of spite for the system...
I try to just say that humanity is dumb, but I have more evidence of specifically Americans being saps.

51% is likely to be the win for all future presidents. Both candidates campaign so close to the middle that there is hardly a difference between them. And for all this nonsense about Gay Marriage being a hot issue, even the Dems were going to try to deny it was a Federal issue and punt it to the State legislatures.

The reality is, I find it very difficult to believe that a majority of your population holds these views and that is why I find myself questioning the need for secrecy in the polling system. For the most part the Americans I have encountered are pretty cool (and that's not just in this forum, my work has me liaising quite often with American colleagues) and clued in on what is happening in their country.
I hope that clarifies my position somewhat. I don't believe that the majority of Americans are unintelligent and ill-informed. It's actually quite the contrary.

Whereas in capitalist society the incentives are fear of starvation and the illusion that riches can somehow be attained.
You have to consider conditions and not just numbers. The unemployed in Europe probably live better than many of those who are employed in America.
What are you basing this off of?
Wow, good point. I could counter with a snappy come back like "No, you suck, ass-fag!" but this isn't the seventh grade.
Your generalizations are fantastimazing, but you're wrong. The economy is in shambles due to US aggression. Criticizing Cuba for having a poor economy is like criticizing a woman about how her clothes are messed up after she's been raped. As for noone wanting to live there, I'm sure you have polls and research to back it up and are not just making an ignorant assertion. Speaking of ignorant assertions:
"Noone wants to live in the US because Americans often seek political asylum in Canada"
And where I want to live dosn't have any implications on the debate at all except as a completely irrational argument. You may as well tell all the democrats in Kentucky to move to a blue state if they love the democratic party so much.
Oh come on. They lose the cold war and now their system is inherintly [sic] shitty? Hey, the state I live in fought on the losing side of the civil war, so I guess they're inherently shitty too. I'd better move to Cuba, post haste.
As for your nonsense about how most of the US voters are insane, I'd say that's completely possible. After all, the more ignorant a person is the more likely they are to be given to anger, and the more likely they are to act on it, IE vote for someone to kill the fags/muslims/commies/blacks/whoever's bothering us. I really could care less how much of the US population has watched enough Fox Five News at Ten to believe that the war against Iraq is a glorious crucade. I'm not one of them, and just because your kind have the numbers at the moment, it dosn't make you right in the least. To the fifty one percent of American voters who endorsed racism and genocide, I'd just like to quote Anti-Flag when I say:
Stick your fucking flag up your ass, motherfuckers.

Edit: Realised that it now seems to be
1) Are americans bigots?
2) How much, if at all, does Cuba suck?
Frankly, to the second I have to say that it really sucks because it's hot there and it isn't Ancient Egypt. There, my argument is unstoppable.
