Not good news considering the generic ballot historically over estimates Dem support by at least 6-8 points, last 2 midterms it was off by double digits.Quote:
In the 48-district battleground of Republican-held seats, Democrats lead Republicans by 4 points on the generic congressional ballot, 46 – 42 percent.
they are both corrupt.

Well, they could have attempted to fix it themselves. Instead they doubled down.Quote:

The entire political / judicial class is corrupt, for sale, and the oligarchy is the dominant purchaser.Quote:

It is, if the argument is over who is covered in more dogshit.Quote:

I will never pretend that the Democrats do not have corruption or even bad policies. They do.
But are they equally as bad as the Republicans? Not by a long shot.
How would you determine which is better overall, by whatever metric you want to pick?
I choose the corrupt party that promises to do the least to me.Quote:

Really? You posted a poor O P which was immediately rejected out to half-court. A counter argument was inserted and your response was equally. What's the purpose of this response if not to deflect the counter?
Pretty simple to see imo.
It is pretty simple, unless, of course, you are uncomfortable with the conclusion, and want to tap dance about the subject.Quote:

About the only real response I have gotten is the lazy stuff I have come to expect, but hey, I'll roll with that, since it is what I am given here. As for "getting rejected", that is your wishful, information bubble talking, sorry.
both parties have corruption in it
both have big spenders to help their party
Indeed they do.Quote:
