FUCKED DEMOCRACY
Abbie and Andy are Disappointed
Their familiar election night blues. Their familiar response
Abbie and Andy are disappointed
When the first serious projections appear
And they watch the first of the swing states go down.
They’d bought the champagne for the evening,
Cosied in with the cat and the throw on the sofa,
And there were snacks aplenty
To watch the defeat of the candidate
They knew would lose —
Because Abbie listens to her podcasts -
Her carefully selected podcasts -
Because it wouldn’t do to listen to the biased ones, would it?
And Andy’s paper is clear on how much this bastard will lose by.
Of course that is a special choice, too,
Because the rest of the MSM are in the pocket
Of the candidate,
They’re his billionaire mates,
So of course they’re going to say he will win.
When he won’t.
As usual, it’s not even the first result
That has Abbie and Andy realizing that…
