    “how the fuck did things get to such a state…”

    Because Ralph motherfucking Nader, and Mother Jones, and other scumbags like them, tore Americans away from reality and from sanity. That’s how.

      Ah yes, the pervasive and poisonous influence of Ralph Nader and Mother Jones on American society has been well documented. If only we could put a stop to them, our electoral system would finally be functioning as intended.

      I’m just gonna direct the next “don’t vote in the election it doesn’t matter” troll that I run across at you, and let you and them hash it out. I feel like you and me talking is unlikely to be productive.

          You for real made me laugh out loud 😃

          I don’t think the person is dumb, maybe just panicked about anything that might lead to Trump, which I get. And yes I definitely believe there is fascist-enabling propaganda on this topic.

          But in any case I appreciate the note, I will not attempt to redirect them to you or etc

      Ironically, it is you who can’t realize that you and your ilk, together with the republicans, are what’s preventing real progress.

        If we had 60 of his ilk in Congress you’d be complaining about how slow your universal health care is.
