Fuck the Democrats and their corporate money, but fuck the Republicans even more for being so terrifyingly moronic that I feel compelled to vote for corporate shills I don't actually care for to keep them out of office.
If bile didn't rise to my throat at the thought of Republican candidates and their delusions taking over, I would never consider voting Democrat.
This.
I've mentioned many times on this forum that my true political alignment would be with moderate Republicans of the sort that could have been found in the '60s, but they have been hunted nearly to extinction within their own party. I would no more vote for a typical contemporary Republican than I would for a candidate from the Constitution Party. Fuck Nixon and his Southern Strategy and double-fuck Reagan for bringing it to fruition. As far as I'm concerned, the GOP seriously went off the rails when it courted the fundie vote. It's been all downhill ever since.
