@magicalthinking @Zennagain i have some sympathy for the old guard democrats because you can talk to them and there is some kind of reasoning behind it. often times we actually agree on some of the problems but have wildly different outcomes (they tend to want to solve the problem with taxes and big government, i tend to want to do a more randian/stirner/taleb thing of putting things against natural forces)

GOP has always kind of been the party of corpos. i don't really get along with the party ever, most of the rank and files who claim to be one really just want the government to fuck off.

they're both hopelessly compromised though idk.
