    It WILL be a Democrat or a Republican group holding power in Washington. You can pretend it won’t be but it will be. It has been that way for untold decades. You cannot and will not change that.

    So you either don’t accept this reliable truth. Or you want Republicans in charge. Which is it?

      I never said it would be anyone else in power. I said Democrats are not going to fix this problem. Those two things are not equivalent in any way.

      Still, if you want to take this conversation in a totally different direction I’ll play along. if you base future decisions on past outcomes you’re only guaranteeing that change cannot occur. People said exactly what you just did about the divine right of kings for centuries. It was true until it wasn’t just like what you’re saying now.

          No the summary is that you’re clearly incapable of keeping your assumptions and biases from changing the meaning of what you read.

              I haven’t answered you directly because:

              1. Its a stupid question. I already said that Democrats are better than Republicans before you ever responded to me. Out of all the things you have incorrectly inferred from my responses, the answer to this dumb “gotcha” question is the one thing you could have successfully deduced with ease but for some reason you’re categorically unwilling to do so. Probably because you’re not actually processing what I’m saying. Which leads me to:

              2. You aren’t having a discussion. You’re arguing with a caricature of what you think I’m saying. People that do this usually have such an inflated ego that conversation is pointless because they’re not interested in the exchange of ideas but rather word vomiting on someone in a childish attempt at self soothing. This is further evidenced by the fact that you’re downvoting everything I say despite the fact that I still have not downvoted your repeatedly and unnecessarily hostile demeanor.

              Since you appear fond of the TLDR summary I’ll give one for this comment. You’re a shit conversational partner that I have no interest in speaking with further.

                  For fucks sake. I literally just answered your dumbass question and yet you’re still pretending both that I haven’t done so and that you know what I’m going to say better than I do. Go talk to yourself in a mirror and save the rest of us some time. Blocked.
