    … which Republicans have a large hand in perpetuating.

    I’m not saying Democrats are the saints and angels, but they’re a damn sight better than their red-faced counter-parts. What little enabling their members do pales in comparison to the enabling of the Republican party.

    Wholesale change needs to happen. And moving The Leftovers party out of it’s middle-of-the-road approach is part of that, but it’s not even close to a majority. Trying to lump the two together as some sort of “everyone in government is bad!” approach is disingenuous and antithetical to seeking change.

    If you want to see a solution, stop trying to generalize the problem. We’ve had generalized “solutions” for decades, and it’s done nothing but slow the degradation a little bit at best.

      Your assumption that I’m making an argument to moderation is fundamentally incorrect and a little insulting.

        My assumption is that you’re casting too wide a net because you’re just tired of the status quo, but you don’t really know who to really blame. So you’re blaming everyone.
