    what's really crazy is thinking this anything other than absolute fluff that will never even be gestured at if they win

      It's pretty obvious they won't go anywhere near it while in office. But even just saying it is a step in the right direction.

        We need to have much, much higher standards for our politicians than this.

          If the only thing you want is everything right now, you're going to be very disappointed your entire life.

            If the only thing you demand is empty platitudes, you can expect a lot of those and not much else.

                We all see the same threads and are free to comment. That's how federation works. If you say something remarkably stupid your comment might end up in The Dunk Tank, and then yeah, you will get a lot of people coming over to make fun of you. I'm afraid in this case your comments just aren't that remarkable. I'm just responding to you as a browse the thread.

                My question still stands though. How many times are you going to believe the shit falling out of these ghouls' mouths? Will you ever stop believing, or will your credulity never faulter, even as your quality of life plummets to protect the political status quo?
