    That right there should be the next Democratic campaign slogan:

    “We suck marginally less than Republicans, not that it’ll affect most of you in any meaningful way.”

    At least, that would be it if they were honest people.

      I don’t know how to make this any clearer this is not a full throated endorsement of the democratic party by any means. This is a pragmatic response to our failed governmental system.

      If my choices are won’t cut food stamps and will cut food stamps. I will vote for the party that won’t cut food stamps.

      I have plenty of criticisms for the “won’t cut food stamps” party, but abstaining from voting and allowing the “will cut food stamps” party to win is the absolute worse option. If you want to pretend to care about the working class don’t stand on a moral high ground and allow the “will cut food stamps” party to walk into a majority.

        It’s amazing isn’t it?

        These people have such moral purity that they abstain from voting and… help hurt fucking children.

        They, in their inaction, are as responsible for the current situation as the republicans are.
