Forum Overview :: Balance of Power :: I'm back to being pissed at Bernie or Busters.

[quote name="Mischief Maker"]Yes, right after Trump's electoral victory I was seething with anger at the DNC for boxing out the superior candidate and the Clinton campaign for running with the stupidest strategy imaginable: get Republicans to vote Hillary. But after one single week of the Republican house's antics I'm back to being enraged at the idiots who said, "a vote for the lesser evil is <I>still evil!"</I> That attempt to gut the ethics office was just the tip of the iceberg. Not only are they repealing the ACA with no plan to replace it (hello again, pre-existing conditions), they also passed legislation to not publicly reveal how much the ACA repeal will explode the national debt. And they created sanctions for people streaming the discussions on the House floor to the public on smartphones when Paul Ryan wants the CSPAN cameras off. Then they're also doing a massive sell-off of public land, restriction of state's rights (fuck your pot decriminalization), and defunding planned parenthood, despite the fact that abortion services get zero federal funding already. AND THIS ISN'T EVEN TRUMP YET! It's just the goddamn Republicans. And it's not like we couldn't see this coming. This is how terrible they were in the Bush jr. years when they had a majority. And you called Bernie a sell-out, you IDIOTS! Why are Republicans so evil? Probably because their philosophical guiding light comes from Ayn Rand, whose ideal man was <A HREF="http://michaelprescott.freeservers.com/romancing-the-stone-cold.html">a corpse-mutilating sociopath</A>. That and the simple fact that Crooked Hillary is an amateur compared to Republican corruption. We are so fucked.[/quote]
