Do you seriously believe that it's only Republicans that pander to their base?
- redler 12y agoIt's certainly not only Republicans. But neither are they pandering to their "base" in any traditional sense; rather, they are pandering to a few dozen specific people, the extreme concentration of whose wealth generates gravitational fields that that propagate through today's medium more freely than in any time in recent memory.

I'm not trying to turn this into a Repub/Demo circle-jerk...I just personally believe, and my experience has proven, there there is barely a dime's worth of difference between the two parties, and that they are all simply plutocrats.
