#notes Fifth Estate #278, November, 1976

The presidential election farce is over and Nobody won!

Although we were hoping for an absolute majority, those unwilling to humiliate themselves by participating in their own enslavement by voting for who will rule us still chalked up an impressive 46.8% of the adult population.

By contrast slimy James Earl (Jimmy) Carter was able to pull down only a measly 27% of those eligible to vote, while Ford followed up with about 25.5%.

The pathetic minority parties slurped up the remaining decimal points, although their vote figures will not be available until the latter part of November.

The meaning is clear: we have the mandate for NO government! It is now just a matter of acting on that assumption.
