    I hate to say it but I think you’re the one missing something here. And based on the down votes, I’m not the only one.

    No idea why you turned into an asshole on me here, I thought we were cool. Guess I’ll change your tag from “good hip hop convo” to “won’t admit when he misinterpreted something”

    Go back to sleep, mate. Blimey the dingo or whatever the fuck you’re on today

      Same. I had a few yesterday, and wasn’t my usual considerate self, but OTOH? If I need to spell out every P and Q for someone, then I can rightfully get annoyed.

      Point is, the voting issues and inherent problems I’m referencing run terminally deep in the USA, and exasperation upon the country being sunk is the order of the day. Downvotes can piss right off when this is no longer a ‘polite discussion.’

        But the only reason you thought you had to spell it out is because you thought I disagreed. I know our voting system is awful and I hate voting for the lesser of two evils

          I don’t recall us being in either full agreement or disagreement at any point.

          And I think the whole ‘lesser or two evils’ mindset is a terrible way to look at things, and directly fuels voter apathy, helping to lead to what we have now… the breaking down of whatever was left of democracy. Look at the historic voting records of congressional dems vs “GOP,” and it becomes pretty clear that one party is way, way better than the other in terms of progressive bills, however flawed they might be as a political entity.
