    We’ve got 2 types of politicians now, Populist Polar Penguins, and Middling Milquetoast Mouthbreathers. If you don’t want the Penguins you gotta vote for the Mouthbreathers that will get the most votes. And vice versa. The parties are just outfits the funding sources put on their puppets every election cycle, they love it though since they get to share the strings on either one.

    I feel like I did when I was a kid, and Pro Wrestling was obviously fake, but saying that outloud was going to get me kicked out of every backyard WWF match in the neighborhood. There’s a big group of people that look at politics and don’t see the obvious pagentry and don’t draw the stupidly clear lines between the haves and the poltiical campaigns around the nation or if they do “it’s only the other guy that’s faking it!”

    “You’re right, Macho Man is faking it, but so is the Hulkster.”

    “YOU TAKE THAT BACK YOU MOTHERFUCKER!”
