Imagine prostrating yourself to Trump in this embarrassing way. Sheesh.

      Whoa whoa there, slow down. You’re talking crazy. Let’s be reasonable.

      The only way to get any sort of reliable data is to let BOTH camps go nuts and see which one gets more attention and results.

        Republicans don’t have the spine to run at risk of death, and elections only happen every two years meaning until then DNC would have the first real supermajority since 1979.

        Tax them into the dirt, then there will never be more billionaires.

            Do you think liberal is an insult? Oh, I’m so sorry that promoting human rights inconveniences you.

              You’re misunderstanding. I said neoliberal for a reason. I wouldn’t call either party liberal, and the issue I have is labeling them as such.

                Right okay, the parties fighting for liberty, fairness, and true democracy aren’t liberals they’re “neoliberal”. Whatever that means.

                  Neoliberalism fights for a semblance of democracy that favors economic, corporate freedom over personal liberties and the inherent human value we both care about.

                    Wouldn’t that just be anarchism / corporatism similar to a deregulated syndicalism? Why use a word with an opposite meaning, “new liberalism”, to describe something?

      You do know that they will buy more? Legislators are a dime a dozen for oligarchs.
