as the enemy and have no fugging interest in anything called bipartisanship or democracy.

It doesn't look like there's any awakening coming our way.

(20,018 posts)The fact that it's played like a game has a lot to do with the mess we're in.
Life or death of individuals, economies, governmental systems, and nations are at stake.
I don't want my reps playing games.
If they can't tell the truth in a memorable way, they need to go into a different line of work.

(9,214 posts)I don't want a politician that polls! I want a politician that has ideals and principles. And sticks with them.
That is how the minority Republicans beats us, they say what they mean and stick to it. Right or wrong the public likes people that stick to their ideals and principles.

There's historical precedent for that move.

(1,362 posts)Many people are "defacto mouthpieces for conservative agitprop" and do not realize what tools for propaganda they are. Whenever someone reads a few books on the history of propaganda they do indeed "wake the fuck up" and can easily see how manipulated we all are but until then the individuals remain ignorant.
Repukes have no one's interest except their own in mind, ever. You are 100% correct.
