    I don’t want to see any Democrat or Republican or anyone win that is beholden to private entities rather than the people.

    It’s all a fuckin show and has been for over 100 years. It goes back further than that but at least we were mostly free of it prior to 1900.

      You and me both. It’s a sad state of affairs that it’s not even an option. How we vote and the two party system is written into the fucking Constitution (not as such but the parties become inevitable) and we have to live with it. It’s supposed to be a living document reacting to changes in the times but that’s not possible right now.

      I get not wanting either party. I’m certainly not beholden to either of them. But we are stuck. And we can fight one battle at a time to slowly move things in the direction they need to go even if it’s one step forward and two back, or we can give up and just find a way to live with whatever chaos and injustice others choose for us. Because right now there just isn’t another option. Maybe some day if we fight hard enough and we win often enough we can win better options for the future, but they probably won’t be for us. The road is long and the progress is slow.
