The reality is neither party cares about us.
Perfectly fine with me. Our government is not supposed to care for us, that's our job. Politicians can themselves care, I've seen it firsthand (or a damn good con) but the political parties do not care by design. Their sole existence is to advance politicians and their ideas, not to care.

The route to principled government is found in selflessness.
Anyone saying or believing this is a lefty. You need principled PEOPLE to build a principled government, not a bunch of "selfless" wimps who care so much about us that they're trying to control everything cradle to grave.

I think he's talking about 'caring' in the sense that their first loyalty should be to the constitution rather than the party. Political parties that reverse those priorities are worthy of irrelevance.

But I'm with you on your point, my libertarian minded friend!

The reality is neither party cares about us.

The reality is that the Democratic party would rather see this country go to hell than help the GOP accomplish anything. And the GOP feels the same about the Democrats.

Time to bring up the term limits amendment to the Constitution yet again. It is the only chance to change that dynamic.
