    I have come to the conclusion that the entire system is wholly corrupt, top to bottom. There are decent folks in there, but they are VASTLY outnumbered. Yes, one party is worse, but when given the choice between shot or stabbed in the back, I kinda want to pick neither.

      I still think this is disingenuous. It’s not a choice between being shot or stabbed. It’s a choice between being fined and getting gassed to death.

      I’m not sure what, if anything, Dems are doing that counts as actually getting hurt. They’re just very ineffective. At worst they’re the useless bystander screaming instead of doing anything productive.

        I was speaking in metaphor but in this climate I guess you can’t anymore… you have a point one side is clearly worse, I’m not trying to make a “both are the same” argument. My argument is that neither will save us.

        The dems have had a winning strategy for ages, they just fight harder against it, than they do their political opposition.
