I’m pretty far left. My biggest issue with Democrats is that while Republicans like to cast them in the role of the “Loony Left,” they’re way too far to the right for me to really be happy with them.

Voting is a bus system, not a taxi. You’re probably not going to find one that’s going directly to where you want to go, so you better get on the one that’s at least going the right direction.

It’s always good to be aware of. We’re not a colony anymore, but we haven’t drifted THAT far apart, either.
Britain voted to destroy the Tories, and succeeded to a considerable extent.
Unfortunately, beating the devil is not enough. You need a plan to rebuild.
The US still needs to beat the devil, though.
