Bullshit..... I am really tired of this bullshit of making politics about personalities when we all know that 1 person is not the dictator of our 3 branch system of checks and balances and oversight.
Trump is nothing but a bullshit artist. But to claim Hillary is a problem too, no. This mess was started by Reagan long before Hillary held any office. The only thing our politicians can be blamed for is being too compromising trying to defend themselves from the cold war bulllshit slurs the GOP has successfully painted the left as for the past 40 years.
Our ideas as progressives are solid, our tactics in politics suck. We do value the private sector. We do value women's rights over their bodies, and equal pay. We do value livable wages. We do value affordable health care. We do value cheaper or free higher education. The right wing has fought all those things the entire time, and democrats instead of pushing back, have allowed republicans to control the narrative which has caused our side to stupidly try to prove we aren't Stalin's communism. Hillary is a hostage, not a perp. Obama has unfortunately compromised as well, because he is dealing with a bratty obstructionist right.
Our party has been like a weak parent at the check out isle when the fucking brats scream for candy, we stupidly give it to them in hopes they will shut the fuck up.
No, sad is the rich and the religious right thinking they have sole rights to be the one group in control. Sad is their not giving a fuck about how the pay gap is killing us and using religion to divide workers on social issues. No, sorry we followed the right, became their doormat and that shit is going to stop.
ONLY ONE party and one class is to blame. Nope, we had deregulation for 40 years, we had "don't tax the rich" and and 20 years of Fucks News needlessly scaring the shit out of gullible morons. Nope, that shit isn't going to sell anymore.
