You need to study the two parties closely, from honest and reliable news resources. The parties are worlds apart. You will find corruption in any system unfortunately.

No you really don't. It's pretty fucking obvious that Republicans are awful. They'll come right out and say it.

The problem is that Democrats also get me further from my political goals, and will continue all of the bullshit that I hate because they either don't see a problem with it or they're hamstrung by the structure of government.

There isn't an option to vote for better. Only less worse.

Better almost always routes through less worse.

Well Better should hurry the fuck up because it's been getting more or less worse my entire life.

Voting is for harm reduction, action is for positive change. You need both.

That's exactly my philosophy: You don't vote for better. You vote for less worse.

If you want better you gotta work for it. And probably get your skull cracked in.
