He's certainly not going to try and stop the empire. But hey, at least he's using robots.

The way I see it; I feel like the younger generation and the liberals of America got spooked into voting for a guy who at least seems like he's on their side. I don't blame them either. Imagine if Jill stein got 50% of the liberal vote, thus removing any chance that the liberals could have won and establishing Romney as president?

This isn't voting on terms that are honest. I see the liberals never got much of a chance to shop around for good candidates; they were just frightened into voting for a Dem so that the big bad Republican wouldn't enforce fascism lite on the people. I feel like in some ways, the American people have been coerced into making an emergency decision instead of being able to give their electoral determination a real chance. I also think this is basically a bad problem with a two party system. You can't also assume that Romney had honest support for 100% of the right. I'm sure the right was also panicking into picking a guy they really didn't entirely like.
