political parties aren’t real. Their only purpose is market segmentation.
It doesn’t matter which teams win in sports, billionaires own all the leagues.
Conservatives have been using the “think of the children line” to justify Draconian overeach for years. All while simultaneously doing everything in their power to take away programs that help children.

Let’s not act like the dems don’t do some of the same shit.

Minnesota recently used their tax on billionaires to expand education and provide free lunch to children so while the party isn’t perfect they are not at all comparable.
What makes them so similar is first pass the post I guarantees a two party system and the practice of your gerrymandering creating safe seats. The worst Democrats are the ones with the safest seats. If you want positive change start there.

We’re talking about trying to pass legislation in the name of “think of the children” logic.

Off the top of my head I can only think of Lieberman and honestly the ESRB was a reasonable compromise.

You’re mostly correct, but Dems are not left in any political paradigm with the slightest awareness of the existence of non-American countries.
