Some people say that the definition of insanity is to keep doing the same thing in the same way, while expecting different results.
- habosa 8y agoI'm not sure either party can govern effectively when they are in a political bubble. It seems that both ideas have good sides and the best governments are the (rare) ones where multiple parties have power and compromise occurs. However in America I only get to vote for one of two sides and I still think mine is the lesser of two evils.
