What a delightfully simplistic view of politics. You know about the Blue Dogs, right?
- throwaway5752 9y agoYes. And?
- thesmallestcat 9y agoAnd so you could have a single-party system and you'd end up with a split of conservatives and liberals. It's not about party, at least not about blindly voting for one party.
- throwaway5752 9y agoThis is not about liberalism or conservativism at all. It would be lovely if the current Republican party was about conservativism. This is not about political philosophy, this is about party and who exercises power in those parties.
- thesmallestcat 9y agoNot all Dems support Net Neutrality, not all Republicans oppose it, which contradicts your point.
- trivial 9y agoThere are some people that think the earth is flat or that lizard shape shifting aliens control the highest level of every government does that make them a fair representation of the views of humanity as a whole? There are significant differences between the two parties.
- omginternets 9y agoMost Dems support NN, and most Reps oppose it. You know this.
- robotresearcher 9y agoHe's not advocating voting blindly. He's advocating voting for the party that actively supports net neutrality.
- Para2016 9y agoHe's posting from "throwaway" which means he knows his entire statement is completely biased and absurd. As if voting "D" without knowing a thing about the candidate is a good idea.
- throwaway5752 9y agoYes. I'm posting from a "throwaway" which is 5 times older than your account, has almost 15 times as much karma, and contains exactly the same amount of personally identifiable information. Happy Thanksgiving.
- Para2016 9y agoWow, just saw your reply. I'm happy you have so much karma! That must mean a lot to you. Have a wonderful holiday season!
- dragonwriter 9y agoThe Blue Dogs are a very belated rearguard action against the partisan realignment that had largely completed when they were formed, and as the realignment progresses and solidifies they have rapidly become irrelevant.
