      You are right, neither of them do. At least one isn’t trying to cut the throats of half the country though. Nice rebuttal! One is willing to put aside differences and find middle ground, the other wants to throw anyone who disagrees in a deep dark prison so they never see the light of day. Totally both sides though, ammirite?

        Duh.

        Nice rebuttal

        It wasn’t meant to be a rebuttal, it was meant to be a mildly condescending statement of an obvious truth

        Totally both sides though

        What if I told you that two things can suck, at the same time, even if they’re not exactly identical? If your choices are losing a toe or losing a leg, of course most folks would choose the toe. They’d have to be real douchebags to cheerlead for the people who cut their toe off though.

          Which is exactly why the Democratic party stagnates around indecision. Every issue is “yeah, but…” Where as the Republican party just ignores literal crimes in their midst, because he’s “their guy”. This isn’t inherently an American problem, it’s a political one. Who is cheerleading? Both things can be true too, one is less evil but still needs to be fixed, it’s a lot better than literally chopping your own foot off with a blunt shovel and blaming the other guy. I’ve always been taught and discovered myself that one must always challenge authority, and to beware anyone promising you exactly what you want to hear.

            You are, when you say they represent all Americans. They represent their donors. They give lip service to all Americans.
