    It’s fair to complain that the checks and balances are neither checking nor balancing. Republicans are cunts, but Democrats are also cunts for not doing anything about them. And the dumbfuck American voter is the biggest cunt of all.

      No question that the American voter is the ultimate problem (and I am one). Or more to the point, the American non-voter is the real problem.

      But you seem to suggest each party carries equal blame, and that is most certainly not the case.

              Sure, but you made no attempt to quantify the difference between them. Short of that, we must assume you mean they are equal.

          I’ll concede Dems have a better record on human rights, although I think their intentions ultimately still serve capitalism.

          Then again, the drone strikes under Obama, the Vietnam War under Kennedy and Johnson…
