Regardless of personal anger, politics is about discerning lesser evils.

Republicans have always been the lesser evil.

The peculiar fixation on conflating Republican and democrats is not helpful.

Advocating for more conservative Republicans or more expansive tax cuts is legitimate and compelling argument.

pretending they are all the same is not and has the effect of promoting the current overwhelming dominance of the democratic party in the American public sphere.

I'm sorry. I don't subscribe to this theory. Choosing that which is less wrong, but is still wrong, is not something I am willing to lower my standards to. Quite honestly, I deeply believe both parties have betrayed both this nation and the foundational ideals it was built upon, and are not salvagable.

I've enjoyed our talk though. Thanks for reaching out to me. Indeed, sometimes I am so fed up with it all, I let my frustration color my statements.
