    The Patriot act that passed with a ton of bipartisan support? That Patriot act? The one Obama promised to rescind while he was campaigning and then renewed after he won?

    Don’t make the mistake of believing any of these assholes are on your side. The worst of the worst legislation is always bipartisan. We’ve got faces and heels and at the end of the day they’re working towards the same goals.

      This is a reminder that Democrats, in large, are not leftists. They are capitalists. They pass capitalistic legislation that benefits largely the rich and status-quo, which makes them conservatives.

          Everyone Else Party implies they’re on our side. There’s the Mask Off Authoritarian Party and the Still Pretending They’re Not Authoritarians Party.

      America has two authoritarian right-wing parties to pick from. One is less right wing than the other, but they’re still both to the right of the major right wing party in my country (New Zealand)

      People aren’t political parties though. The OP is referring to followers of a specific belief system, not somebody registered as a D or an R.
