    I know Republicans won’t listen to me.

    I assume Democrats might.

    After all, I vote in all their primaries.

    Or does that mean they don’t have to care because who the hell else am I going to vote for in the general?

      I was just ranting about all the independents that would rather vote 3rd party or not vote at all because “the democrats are just as bad/lazy and don’t get anything done” crowd

      Every time the democrats have power they use it to try to help out to most common people, yet it’s all brushed under the rug all the same because it’s not normally headlining news.

        The democrats try.

        Republicans come into office with a 130+ page manifesto and the party in lock step.

        Hell, the Democratic senate whip didn’t even know someone was going to be absent and they lost a fucking lay-up vote.

        My problem isn’t that the democrats try. It’s that they fail so goddamn always.

          And that wraps back around to my original rant. Republicans can do anything and have full support from thier party. One wrong move and a democrat loses most of their followers.

            Or maybe the Democrats have slowly shifted so far right that the left in this country no longer has any political representation outside of like 20 house seats.
