    Both sides currently yell and scream at anyone that doesn’t agree with them unequivocally. I don’t agree with everything liberal, and a few conservative viewpoints I do agree with. But for the most part I consider myself to be a moderate.

    But vocalizing that I disagree with how to do something and both sides will either call me a libtard or a MAGAt.

    This is something both sides have an issue with. So stop saying both sides is wrong. Here is an example that disproves that statement completely.

    All I want is a party by and for the people. Not billionaires. Done with idiocracy and insanity.

      Never going to happen.

      Political parties are run by the wealthy elite, not “the people”

      There’s nothing to allow for a candidate who is sincere but not connected to big money to succeed at anything but the most local of elections.

      If someone were to win a bigger federal level election with word of mouth and no money, be sure that whatever social media platform that allowed their word to go out and grow was on their side and working in the shadows of their ‘formula’ that promotes some content over others.

          If you were right it would be happening and they would be winning.

          It just doesn’t happen. If you aren’t D or R you’re not getting party funded, and running independent is fucking hard. If you’re D or R You’ll get primaried to death by a better funded same party opponent who doesn’t mess with the source of said party funding.
