Of course not, that's my point. Both sides do the same thing.
Sure they do, but there's not much of a difference between the sides. So I may keep "voting for parties and candidates that have zero chance", but at least I'm not deluding myself into thinking that somehow supporting the status quo is going to change the status quo. Perhaps if more people started to understand that, to get out from the hyperpartisan rhetoric and hatred, to think and actually look at the system as see how, despite R or D, we've been progressing; those parties may start having more than a zero chance. And only when you threaten the actual power of the Republocrats will you get the Republocrats to change.
Supporting the status quo doesn't change it, it only encourages it.
Wow, kinda lost it there a bit, eh? Well ad homs and meltdowns will not win an argument.
Our system for paying teachers - hell, education itself - in this country is insane.
Now we've appointed a person who is heavily invested in destroying public education altogether!
And yet you are blissfully unaware of the fact that a nation such as ours be so penurious about one of its fundamental responsibilities because you don't understand that the Democratic Party was the mainstay of public education, in favor of subsidized community colleges and is finally gathering enough steam to where it may very well be in favor of subsidized or even free university education.
We keep reaping the return on our meager and paltry investment year after year after year, and we refuse to admit that squandering our investment in education in favor of prisons results in less education and more prisoners.
Which party is the one in favor of more prisons and less schools?
Oh right, the one that just reversed Obama's policy on getting RID OF private prisons altogether, the Republicans.
WORKERS:
Most of our economy depends on workers, yet they have been neglected for decades and deemed "The enemy" by Republican ideologues. Unions are the backbone of the American workforce, yet the concerted effort to destroy them had been effective, and is likely to be completed by the Supreme Court this term.
You seem to not even understand that unions are responsible for almost everything they take for granted - vacations, overtime, pensions, social security, health care insurance, limited work weeks, safety and environmental progress, even for NON-UNION workers, who finally began to enjoy those benefits. But all that is evaporating now.
Nope, I am right on target. You're in denial.kinda lost it there a bit, eh?
You deserve the ad homs...100%, and twenty bucks says I hit every single checkbox in your profile, Mister Anime fanboi.Well ad homs and meltdowns
And your wet dream of threatening this fantasy target called "Republocrats" is just another cop out, the tired old fool's errand called "both parties are the same", which is bull****.
Good is the enemy of perfect for your crowd, because you don't grasp the concept of politics being the art of the possible.
To you, it's just another Pokemon Go! session, and if you can't find your Squirtle pokemon, you're taking your toys, going home and sulking.
Yup, you voted for Jill Stein, except twenty more bucks says you didn't even vote at all.
For you and yours, any price was worth paying to punish the Democratic Party as long as YOU weren't the ones paying it.

You're basically regurgitating the same agitprop that comes from 55 Savushkina Street when you're not pretending to be interested in social justice (while NOT voting, mind you) and in the end, as has been said and demonstrated, you're helping the Republicans WIN WIN WIN.
But again, you don't have to pay the price because you're not part of the communities being directly impacted by the consequences. So it's cheap for you.
And pretending that my statements are a "meltdown" is nothing more than just projection.
