    In 90+% of elections people follow your advice and vote along party lines. And they say the same thing then, too.

    And yet people like you keep saying this time, it will work.

    What do they call it when you repeat the same thing over and over, expecting a different result?

      It is actually you that is saying this. That is the very thing I was criticizing. You seem confused and contradictory.

      Your team is not the good guys. There are no good guys. There are the masters and the slaves; the rulers and the ruled. And as long as you keep believing in their game and their rules it will always be so.

      “People like you …?” Are you literally illiterate? You read what I wrote, then accused me of saying exactly the opposite of what I wrote. Read my post again. Realize that you are completely delusional and caught up in the usual election cycle hysteria. I’ve witnessed this same shitshow for nearly half a century. Nothing ever changes, except the rubes and con men want to keep the slaves invested in the fantasy that participating more fully and robustly in their slavery will liberate them. It is you who is demanding to do the same thing over and over expecting a different result. You are projecting your election cycle hysteria on to me.

      Just VOTE HARDER. Maybe then things will change.

        What team is my team?

        What am I delusional about?

        I’m looking forward to learning more about Flying Squid from an expert.

          Your unholy flying squid team is trying to compete with the power of the Pastafarian Pirates: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flying_Spaghetti_Monster

          Neither team is the good guys. No matter which team wins, non-evil people who don’t want pressed into your chain gang–they all lose.

          There are no good guys in politics. Politics exist precisely because the ‘teams’ involved are ALL evil, delusional, selfish, and dishonest. Call them flying squids, flying spaghetti monsters, vampires, werewolves, leviathans, behemoths, titans, giants … all political parties are evil and have only the interests of their own power and glut at heart.

          “And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.”
