Look, now I'm not saying there aren't some kickass burgers out there but when you get down to it a burger is just a type of sandwich.
And basing your politics or national identity around a sandwich is pure uncut absurdity.
In a way this is the establishment dabbing on you. This is an example of how powerless electoralism is. Because the permitted political discourse takes this fucking form right here. This is how maddeningly banal and farcical it is. The news isn't about the electoral choice its about the argument over the electoral choice. We are trapped inside this monster of empire but somehow you can ignore the stomach lining undulating around you because it happened to also swallow a vending machine when it gulped you down. You can still hit a button and choose a treat even with all other horizons foreclosed. But even more important than the choice you can argue over what to choose with your fellow belly dwellers.
