What gets me really isn’t the Dems or GOP. They are the RESULT of the problem. The actual problem is the idiots that willfully empower them. Those idiots are “America” today.
Until America changes, DC stays as it is. And DC is nothing but a reflection of America. We need to ‘fix’ America. Not DC. We ‘cant’ fix DC any other way. Fix what ails us and DC fixes itself.
Same as it ever was.
All these hysterical fools can scream ‘lesser evil!” till the blue fills their face. All that says is that they are willing to embrace evil over principle to win.
THAT’s whats wrong with America. We/They want to win more than we want whats right.
True enough. What’s that old quip “the great part about democracy is it gives people the government they deserve”. If we’re a better people then the subsection of us that get into politics will be better and the government they build will be better. Of course how do you fix 300 million people?

I’ve been saying this for a very long time. It’s all about the culture. Something I have noticed is that very few people will stand up to someone they disagree with, while the country goes down the toilet. I have been in numerous situations where some leftist will say some rude thing, I don’t just ignore it, but take them on. If others are sitting there, even though they agree with me, they will stay silent. I never start the discussion about politics in groups, but I don’t back down.
I see this all the time. People will not stand up and be counted. Recently I had some guest over to our home that I did not know very well. He made some snarky comment about corrupt R’s. and I agreed with him, then commented that most federal govt. was corrupt, that is why me and my DH were tea party supporters. You would have thought I told him we ate puppies. So many are too afraid of being not cool enough to say who they really are. It is killing our country. Oh, I also told the guest that we were calling it a night and he should go home. Haven’t seen him since.
