When it comes down to it, the policies inflicted on us by both parties are so similar that to vote for either is to succumb to a lie. There is so little that can actually be trusted that any politician says these days, a utterly corrupted information environment exists in which no informed, ethical decision can lead one to participate in the system. This leaves the country to those who created the mess and marginalizes the ethical and the thoughtful.
Given that the GOP started this crazed policy and given the undeniable fact that the Dems are in charge of corralling dissent and supporting said policies, if you participate in the electoral process in any way but to subvert the establishment entirely, you are likely and willingly self-deceiving.
Don’t think so? Then list the reasons you are thinking of supporting this party or that. Write them down. Now go over the list and scratch off all the ones that just no longer apply. What’s left? I’d love to know what you come up with in some comments attached to this diary. I could use a reconnection with ‘the system’ but, as many do, struggle to find a grip.
So these days it’s pick your poison: Lies that manipulate your heart, or lies that manipulate your wallet: Dems or GOP..

[An Aside] If the Dems run Hillary Clinton, they are choosing, quite literally, the one person in the whole world who cannot capitalize fully on the GOP’s recent death spiral.
