of course it is not, not by a long shot. but just because "both sides" are bad it doesn't mean both sides are equally terrible. when it comes to public safety regulations, for example, the dems have a SIGNIFICANTLY better track record than republicans in recent decades. that's just an undeniable fact, if you like it or not.


I don't think it's productive to try and find out which side is less bad. We really should be talking about what we can do to prevent accidents like that from happening.

you mean like voting for the side that doesn't repeal train safety regulations after receiving millions of dollars in donations from the chemical industry and railroad companies for example?

you mean like supporting politicians pushing for campaign financing reform to end the legalised bribery in washington?

you mean opposing those that constantly undermine public safety so that a few CEOs and shareholders can hoard even more wealth, while workers are fired, underpaid, and endangered in their working class homes?

great idea.

I am not a Republican.

I have always said that both parties are bad, and that it's time for a reform.

that's quite ironic considering the guy you're quoting - and the horde of triggered right-wing NPCs he's virtually indistinguishable from - simply can't STOP giving me attention, even though i haven't addressed them in weeks, some of them years. still they follow me around with their sore butts, lazy insults, and urgent opinions about me, lel. with you it's a similar thing - you could easily just NOT give me the attention i allegedly crave so much and simply stfu about me - especially since you claimed you were done with me anyway. but you just can't help it, can you? you're a mad old fart, and you just HAVE to let me know, don't you? xD


Funny, I hadn't addressed your worthless ass for months, and now here we are.

I really think that if you are still voting, you are part of the problem.

Good question.

Do you use gab.com? On it, Andrew Torba is talking about dropping out of our current society and building a parallel, better one. It's one way to go.

I guess you can in theory try to win elections but you would really need some absolutely awesome ideas for a political party.

yes, here we are with you being unable to stop replying to me with petty insults, even though you claimed you were done talking to me long ago. funny how that works, huh?
