So it seems like there's a part of the right wing (some people say they're radicalize-able, I don't know) that talks somewhat like us lefties (or libs, like me)...i.e. "both parties are corrupt, that's why I voted trump". But I feel like I don't hear the same terms to describe the duopoly that we use, terms like "duopoly", "oligarchy", "kleptocrary", etc. Why does it seem like they don't characterize the system using those terms, given that it seems like they agree with the basic premise that both parties/the whole system is corrupt/rotten?
Yeah. For sure. Nothing is appealing about it. I guess I do buy into the idea that government policy is an expression of values, and that there is a patriotic duty (maybe this is the "appeal"?) to get us out of a situation where we, like, bankrupt people for getting sick. Or tether people hopelessly to jobs that will kill them. Ire goes. . .I don't even know where. Ugh, I'm such a baby lefty.
