You can try doing what I do.

Acknowledge that it's beyond your control. All parties and the vast majority of their respective members in the government exist in their own world that's a skewed version of reality. You have absolutely no power to influence them, or likely ever change them, unless you're willing to devote your entire life to joining their ranks and trying to change things. Even then your chances of success are next to none.

Don't vote. Or vote if you want to. It really doesn't matter. All you can do, as an average everyday person, is watch. Let them play their game until it meets whatever end it created.

You had me slightly convinced until you said "don't vote", especially since I live in a swing state.

What kinda shitty mindset is that?

No matter who you pick, it's the same outcome. If it's not one party coming in and shitting everything up, in the next few years it'll be the other party coming in to shit all over the work done by the other party. That's all it is.

If that was the case, we'd still have Jim Crow, and gay rights suppressed or something. Never mind when both worked together. Progress happens, it's just painfully slow.

Anyway, we're getting off topic.

You had your answer when you asked the question. I get it if your views align more to one party. I get that both parties, all the parties, have their ups and downs. It's a "lesser of two evils" deal.

Sure, they outline goals and standards of beliefs for the people they represent. But they're too focused on fighting each other. One makes progress, the other tears it down. It's a game. It wastes time. It wastes resources, it halts progress.

People like you and me are just bystanders. We get hit with the waves they make. Storms on some days, calm seas on others. We can get outselves a boat and make small waves of our own, but ultimately it rarely amounts to much when compared to the scale of the ocean itself.

The truest answer I can give is that all you can do is watch. Exactly like you'd have to if you voted and your party didn't get in anyway.

What do you do when the party of small government is actually all about enacting big government to spy on citizens and legislate biblical morality? I'll tell ya what you do. You #standwithRand.

I can't fucking tell if these are more alts of Door or not

The way the Left has turned on Cory Booker, one of their most effective figures, simply to keep alive the dying cult of personality around eminent retard Bernie Sanders is hilarious.
