A wrecking ball must be larger than the structure it demolishes. Throwing Trump or Sanders at DC is like throwing a pebble at the Burj Khalifa. DC changes politicians more than politicians change DC.
- Aloha 11y agoI as much want to send a message to the leadership of the two major parties as I want to send a wrecking ball to DC. Things are broken and have got to change.
- krapp 11y ago>Things are broken and have got to change. How many politicians run and win on that line? Maybe if you want actual change, you should elect candidates who have something more substantive to offer than being disgruntled and politically incorrect. Politics seems to be the only profession where having qualifications for the job disqualifies you for the job. I know it's impossible for the Republican party to do that now, because they've hitched their wagon to a narcissistic cryptofascist orangutan, but maybe next time.
- Aloha 11y agoIt's as much about breaking the power structures of the existing political parties as it is about changing government, both have to happen to get real change thru - and I'm not too picky on the order.
- krapp 11y agoTrump's entire campaign until now has been for the party's nomination, and the approval of the power structure of an existing political party. What leads you to believe he's actually interested in breaking down the power structures he wants to control?
- morgante 11y agoI think Trump is of a different character. He won't even back down when reality hits him smack in the face. He is the king of his own world and does not even acknowledge the existence of a world outside his own. Ask Hindenburg how well it works out to hand over power to authoritarian narcissists in the hopes that governance will somehow tame them.
