Anyone who is a politician these days is a complete and utter douche.

There used to be a time in this country where serving the government was a higher good.

It doesn't exist much anymore. Bernie, despite my disagreements with him, I think was idealist as it has come in a long time. He wasn't running for money. He's an idealist. I think he's a doof, but I respected that. Until he endorsed the ultimate insider.

The Clintons are all about power. If you don't believe that check your logic and idealism at the door.

I'm not a fan of Trump, but he's the anti-Bernie. And it's interesting how much they agree on.

If you vote for Hillary, you vote for establishment; If you vote for Trump you're an asshole.

I get the rancor. Honestly gentlemen, after 23 years of fighting for my country I sometimes regret it. This doesn't resemble America much to me anymore. Hence my vitriol and rancor. Forgive me for my sometimes inappropriate spouting.

And even @AlCzervik and I can agree on this, I think. Maybe not @TheGlove but hopefully.

I miss America, dammit.

    I hear how Bern is an idealist, and there's certainly some truth to that. But anyone who is an elected politician AND a socialist in this country sees himself as a mandarin above and outside of the unrelenting-gray-but-oh-so-equally-good-for-all horror he proscribes for the proletariat. Fuck those guys.

    I agree. And as much as fuckstains hate this process the fact that Trump and Bernie made it to the last lap shows our disdain for the formula. Hopefully in the next cycle this will catch on.

    I am a Libertarian at heart and action. I can't believe Hillary even made the cutoff.

    So he shouldn't run for office because that means he's selling out to the establishment, and socialists should leave the country to the bland liberal center? Maybe rethink your argument.

    No, I'm talking about someone in a position of power amidst the world's greatest abundance. Bernie's establishment wouldn't be

    ahh fuck it

    How about this, it's easy to talk about leveling the playing field when you're angling to be the bulldozer driver.

    It certainly is not the country I grew up in.
