    Because only acting like the ratchet mechanism in a ratchet strap going further toward the right isn’t a winning stratergy

      I floored some smooth brain today by letting them know while Clinton was left of Bush II, Clinton wasn’t a “centrist”. I pointed out NAFTA was the most damaging piece of economic legislation to the US middle and lower class in the last 50 years. They assumed I supported right wing policy as a result. You know, because if you don’t agree Dems are the good guys you must support the right wing, amirite?

      Americans are barely literate, let alone educated. All they have are their feels now, which makes them easily manipulable apes, regardless of party.
