Politics without is just a fuckin’ schoolyard fistfight, and we’ve had too much of that.
No, we haven’t actually. What we’ve had too much of is the bullies pushing around the brown kid because he looks different (which in this analogy of course refers to the mass slaughter of civilians), with one of the two bullies occasionally showing some sign of reluctance or concern that they might get in trouble for it, and then caving and appeasing the other bully when they make fun of them for it.
What “fistfights” are you even talking about? When have the democrats ever actually (metaphorically) thrown hands, or not bent over backwards to appease the republicans, even to the point of going after minorities? The shutdown is the first time I can remember in the past 20 years that they actually showed an ounce of spine.
I would love to start seeing some political fistfights instead of having this “harmony” or “cooperation” between the two bullies.
