    I see a salty downvoter doesn’t like facing reality. Truth is we’re not going to get a good candidate, Trump is the front runner and it’s got people riled up. I don’t see “good” in the next election cycle, I just see “shitty and less shitty”. A shitty leader is still a shitty leader, and it’s going to add to the apathy issue we have as well while empowering populist nutjobs.

      I expect the downvote train, but I want just everyone to remember that in America the Establishment A and Establishment B have both decided to go against the regular American. Whenever you doubt it, just remember Clinton cut off welfare benefits and Bush enforced it, Bush cut immigration and Obama was deporter in chief, Obamacare only got expanded under Trump with anything medical becoming subsidized. The actual record is way longer but it is a big club and we are not in it, believing that either represents you 100% is an obvious lie that people for some reason try to internalize, to the benefit of these bloodsuckers.

        That’s the real truth of it, instead of whining about “don’t let the other guy win” what we should be doing is joining together to eat the rich.
