Z... I'm sympathetic to your thoughts. So much so, I'm no longer registered GOP. I should have earlier/more accurately used the term 'conservative'.... if'n it wasn't obvious.@Zanary said:
The one thing that I do believe is improving is the how the establishment has been shaken to the ground by the chaotic whirlwind that's been going on since before the election even happened. Both "main" parties have been laid bare as the piles of irredeemable shit that they are (how any of you can support either of them at this point is seriously unimaginable), middle America feels like it got some of its voice back, and Congress has been put on the spot over DACA and other issues that they'd skirted for years.@A1Janitor said:
Keep paying attention. It is getting better.
That said, Sessions is an evil skidmark, both Emporer Chee-to and much of the GOP continue to babble before fact-checking and with little/no regard to actual science, and that bunch NEEDS to tell the alt-right and various aryan fap-clubs to f**k off (directly) or continue to be seen as enabling them.
The GOP could remake itself right the hell now, taking advantage of all the change going on...but it's missing the opportunity.
(In a post above, I may have said I was still a part of the party... I'm not.)
Anyways, as much as it's encumbent on "us" (party people) to improve our status... it's equally important for you tertiary partiers to provide viable candidates that can win... isn't it?
IOW, what have you done to provide an alternative, since the last election?
I get your zeitgeist... but throw me a bone, here.
Gary Johnson had been at the top of a state's government for two terms, and had built his own successful business...at least once, possibly more.
Yet, his "gaffe" on Aleppo and basic marginalization by the media as well as the shameless games played by the Debate organization owned and run by traitor-parties 1 and 2 make it very hard to get another voice at the table.
Gary was already the most genuinely qualified candidate, in the metrics that matter. Yet, 130+ million people voted to keep the same traitorous shit in power, out of some combination of habit and/or panic...with some petty malice on the side.
The whole game has to change, and I'm afraid it will involve some level of cultural revolution...hopefully, not a full one.
