Screw Corporate America And Those Who Do Their Bidding Against The American People

folks act with glee as if there is a real clear cut choice between the 2 parties, but there isn't

somebody wrote in another thread that the 2 parties should do a corporate merger, and that's spot on

we live in a bizarro world where someone like Trump actually has some less corporate friendly policies than the Democratic front-runner

nothing is going to change, im done with this shit

the only positive is i see a Progressive "Tea Party" coming real soon...people are sick and tired of the illusion of choice

3. So you have put forth an entire month of effort and are ready to throw in the towel?

I'd love for some of bernie's proposals to come to fruition. Giving up after one month isn't going to cut it.

Sorry, thinking there's "no difference between the parties" doesn't make you a worldly cynic, it makes you a duped, entitled idiot.

Hundreds of thousands dead. It's an endless list of bad things that were the result of the meme of there's no difference.

Obama considers his biggest mistake to be our involvement in Libya, where it was Clinton who was the one who tipped the scales for intervention.

are far fewer ad less consequential than the similarities, and that isn't because both parties are doing the right things.

12. There won't be a Democratic Tea Party because you, like too many others, would find it hard work.

But fortunately, the voters who have selected Clinton (it's called "Democracy", in case you weren't aware) will do fine without your 'help'.

Take all that together and you come away with pretty clear evidence that over the course of the Democratic primary young voters have become more attached to progressive politics and the Democratic party. One read of this is that the primary process itself - as divisive as it has sometimes seemed - has deepened young voters' identification with the Democratic party.

15. There is a clear-cut choice between the two parties. Especially with Trump/Cruz.

Do you want to deport 10 million people?
Do you want to criminalize abortion?
Do you want the minimum wage and taxes on the rich to be lower?
Do you want to get rid of Obamacare?
Do you believe global warming is a myth?

Is there any issue where the GOP and the Dems aren't hugely different?
