      No, I’m saying arbitrarily burning everything down without actually thinking about our politics is a recipe for making the same mistakes as last time.

      How did the last candidate who promised to drain the swamp end up?

        Oh nooo don’t burn down the opposition party.

        They might throw us one of those bones they keep waving in front of our noses.

        They never have, but maybe if we deepthroat Neoliberalism hard enough it will work this time!

            I don’t think you have a nuanced view of politics if you aknowledge there is a controlled opposition party and you think that they will allow the status quo to change.

                Well that’s the nuance, that’s the unspoken truth.

                If that’s not what you mean then you wana fill me in on this “nuance”?

                Are you pre or post disillusionment with the DNC being a party that is capable of positive change?

                Because that really decides what level of nuance we’re talking about here.
