““Vote like it matters, because it does.””

❝❝This is the problem.

As long as the game is defined as "we're not as bad as the other side," the choice is ALWAYS going to be between bad alternatives. Government will keep getting bigger, liberty will decline, and your ability to change anything will shrink. At best, you MIGHT get someone who acts like they are listening for a bit and do something that you like.

And when the next guy is elected, all that goes out the window. You will still have a growing government, less liberty, and no ability to change anything.

This is the problem.

The choice is a bigger government that does a lot of stuff from column C, some stuff from column A, and a bunch of nonsense from column F.

F as in F… You.

Meanwhile the "other side" does a lot of stuff column C, some stuff from column B, and a bunch of nonsense from column F. A or B are the only choices you get, and those are marginal at best.

This is the problem.❞❞
