    Let’s straighten one thing out here… Both sides are corrupt… It’s not your side is better… The Democrats have shown their ass more than they ever have before… They are the same…

    Until something changes one side isn’t better than the other… It’s literally the rich vs the poor and the sooner people realize this maybe we can change something…

    The whole thing is corrupt…

      They are the same…

      Not at all. But that doesn’t mean that the resistance is going to coalesce around the Democrats.

        We don’t need to coalesce, we need to take over the Democratic Party. We don’t gave any other options with our voting system the way it is right now.

        Trump managed to do it by getting people angry (at race in his case). We probably can do it with a class war. I think our only hope is likely that when the people who think they’re in the middle class collapse financially, we make sure they know why.

      Or in case of the above commentor where they have given up on democracy entirely. Typically a mindset for from those whose party is corrupt but they try to flip it around with an attempt of “bOtH pArTiEs” style of argument.

      Now I am not saying there is not corruption within the democrats but I would bet it would pale in comparison to the corruption that the republican party is filled with. All of this is validates by the hyprocrisy by which they currently lead.

      Now I am not saying all republicans are corrupt either as I do have to say Adam Kinzinger has been garnering a soft spot in me lately.
