Rab said: IMHO The Dems and Reps mostly have the same types of people, people that want power/wealth for its' own sake, they like the status quo, it's been good to people in power, why change it! By the jobs very nature it attracts the worst humanity can breed up, the ones that love to control and dominate for personal gain, luckily in a Democracy we have the potential to vote them out, but these types of people are great at gaming the system to stay on |
False equivalence yet again. It's really not beneficial for any democracy to pretend that "both sides are the same", when they are clearly not. At least not in the US. It's an easy cop-out to not have to think about politics too hard.
There is one side who fights for the majority of Americans and there is the other side who fights only for themselves. Both have big donors and want to stay in power, but only one of them is actually practicing democracy. And that seems to be a pretty big difference. Big enough to not equate them.
If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.
