Feb 2016

they no longer think rationally. they think in tribal terms, and we're the enemy, so everything we do or say is evil.

doesn't matter, for instance, that obamacare is a right-wing, pro-capitalist, insurance industry subsidizing, "market-oriented" alternative to government controlled alternatives such as medicare-for-all or hillary's plan from the 90's. they oppose it simply because it was proposed by the "other" tribe.

so if they dared to look through du and found my post, they'd simply discard it as more liberal drivel.

well, if they knew the word "drivel", anyway....
