    It’s almost like this is an important distinction between the two parties…

      If only one side respects any modicum of decorum, then news flash; there is no decorum.

      Dude is 100% right about Democrats. It’s why only those who fall in love come out, because the rest know that the average Dem ain’t gonna do a fucking thing for them.

      Choices are; Rep -> continue to tax you 35% plus unofficial (taxation without representation) taxes like mandated insurance until everyone is broke or in jail.

      Dem; SAME EXACT FUCKING THING but only at 70% the speed.

      Why do you think populism is back? Why did/does Trump and Sanders have/had so many supporters?

      I still vote for Sanders over anyone in the the Democratic party, without question. Cuz Sanders is willing to fight, and imo, for economic justice for all of us. The spoils need to be shared, the oligarchy dismantled, corporations de-peopled given moratoriums on business licenses and regulated to fucking high heaven -> the exact way the founding fathers intended and DID.

        modicum of decorum

          Close. More dripping, sneering sarcasm (snarcasm?) than anything else, as if saying thru tone “how is this not known?” A la Christian Slater in Pump up the Volume.

          Man that takes me back to childhood. Slater was like the Keanu of slackers for Gen X. Kind of typecast into that rebellion role, like how Ryan Reynolds has made a career doing Van Wilder in every movie.
