With the D, resistance is futile. Assimilate or be destroyed.
"For the people" who have made life's mission to get rid of those other people who don't agree with "us people."
You ever notice that it's never about policy or substantive solutions with these campaigns of theirs? It's always about first segregating people into labeled group identities (thus dehumanizing the individual,) finding victims, and blaming the other party. There's never any viable policy, any serious ideas brought to the table. Only finger pointing at others and propping so-called "victims." Because, without a manufactured crisis, there can be no manufactured outrage. Without outrage their is no passion, and without passion there is no voter turnout.
If there was a single thing 0bama was effective at, it was bringing Saul Alinsky's radical community organizing tactics mainstream. That is the greatest threat to our great Republic, as they attempt to create a mob that could possibly overthrow and dismantle everything our country was founded on. No, we are not a democracy. We never were and were never intended to be one. We are a nation of states, through which we are represented.
This is why it's so important to understand the history of our country's founding. So few on the left understand it, and understand the undermining they themselves are participating in. If they truly did understand, they would simply #WalkAway. As much difficulty our two party system has today in getting along, it's truly the only way it works for us. The checks and balances we have are necessary, as is the disagreement. It's not intended to be an arm wrestling contest that it's become where winner takes all, and when the other side wins they return the favor. We were never intended to be mob rule (majority rule.) Our founders knew that would turn out to be a complete disaster, just as it became in the nations they studied to put ours together. It's why our version of democracy is an indirect one. Otherwise, the mob would overrun and destroy it.
How long were you in that coma? And who do you think you're kidding? You seem to be bemoaning the lack of bi-partisanship, yet you are perhaps the most partisan among us. The left this, the left that. Never the right this, the right that. Did you not witness the Tea Party antics? Did you not hear Cocaine Mitch declare his mission to make Obama a one term president? Did you not hear Trump do his Birther Lie?
You'd be a lot more believable if you weren't so phony.
The sun's not yellow, it's chicken.
