On this super mega-important day in the democracy [sarcasm], I recall one of my favorite Bill Hicks bits:
“I’ll show you politics in America right here.  ‘I believe the puppet on the right shares my beliefs.’ ‘Well, I believe the puppet on the left is more to my liking.’ Hey, wait a minute, there’s one guy holding up both puppets! ‘Go back to bed, America, your government is in control. Here’s Love Connection, watch this and get fat and stupid. By the way, keep drinking beer.’”
