if i'm being perfectly honest.... whenever i can bother to watch politics... i feel like republicans are just trolling and ****
i mean i want to be fair and be like "both sides are corrupt" etc etc but if i'm being really honest... nah, they're not quite the same. democrats are basically just watered down pro-establishment drones, where as republicans actually spread straight up bull**** in order to muddy the waters enough to let the financial and business elite exploit the populace
so i can see the lesser of two evils argument as legit... but it's just such a mediocre vision to strive for... that it can't motivate me to get out and vote for that ****
if that's the best we can do as a society... then i don't really care if the business and financial elite rape us. we more or less deserve it for being so ****ing mediocre. so at that point my only thoughts are that if you are worried about money and **** in this country, and you have any sense at all, you won't waste your time chaining yourself to the sinking ship that is the collective working-class/poor. instead focus your efforts on getting yourself into the winning team.
