Maybe that's because Americans can only think of things comparatively in terms of alcoholic beverages.

I'd say Coors Light wins that one by default.

If a light beer wins, the Terrorists win.

Let me guess,

They're just biatching because they can't understand how people won't vote for people as cool as Libertarians huh?

Shouldn't one of the beers be non-alcoholic?

Piss poor analogy. Should be near beer vs. dark beer.

That's silly. Everyone knows the terrorists only win if you boil ribs.

All the tangential beer discussion notwithstanding, that was actually a good article. Ultimately we have a two-party political oligarchy that will stamp out all outside political forces at every step. Sure, they disagree with each other on a few things, but they unite to defeat the common enemy of outside political non-affiliation at every turn.

Silly analogy but the writers point that legitimate third party candidates deserve a voice at these debates but can't because the two parties work together to keep them out is sound.

Three words: Instant. Runoff. Voting.

I mean, I know it will probably never happen, but I can dream.

What we need to do is hook the candidates up to an electrical circuit, and if they just give part of their stump speech instead of actually answering a question, they get shocked.

Considering that one of the candidates doesn't drink - either beer would win.

I've spent the last 6 years living far west of the Mississippi. Returning to the east coast was made especially sweet for the great availability of this American nectar.

But, in all seriousness, it doesn't compare to Czech beer...
Asahi is pretty good too.
And Carlsberg.
And pretty much everything in Germany.

But hey, USA, USA, USA!

Both beers are bad so vote John Walker for President.

Both Beers Are Bad, So Vodak's Ready

This is a fantastic budget beer.

Why is this not our regular drink is beyond me.

Blech. I could actually taste that.

Actually it's a choice between horse piss and bud. Sure, one is barely a beer, but it will at least start to get you drunk eventually.

Do they literally add shiat to dark beer to make it taste like that?

See to invigorate the electorate we need new radical ideas. We need a stark choice between Cthullu cultists and Hastur worshipers. For too long the electorate has been offered this stale meaningless political rhetoric about trickle down economics versus taxing the wealthy. Instead our political discussion needs to include such important matters as whether we should align ourselves with water elementals or air elementals. How is one to know if the phantom of truth is wearing a mask or not? Is he hiding something from us with his cryptic answers to the questions posed to him by the electorate? Why is it that no politician is willing to address citizenship questions that face the King in Yellow? Our national discourse on politics need not be constrained to merely the material universe or this dimension solely. We must also be bold enough to face the elder gods and demand answer from them even at the risk of losing our sanity.

2) Your post is dangerously close to hipster territory. Just a heads up.

In general, Elder Gods are opposed to abortion because it means one less possible sacrifice available to them.

Sigh

Well if an embryo is a human being, you could theoretically sacrabort way more often than once every nine months.
