RE: The state of American political discourse in 2018 summed up In one screenshot

Man, I wish I could upvote this more than once.

I have noticed this too. I thought we had started to move past blindly following one party or the other but we slipped right back into that same old cycle. When I was a teenager during the Bush years, I called myself liberal because I thought the left stood against this "bad" guy but then they came into power and did all the same bad things. I learned my lesson then but it seems like everyone forgot about that.

The thing that bothers me is this attempt to guilt trip people like me. They will tell me that I have to vote for this person or that because the other is "worse" but by doing so, I am saying that I approve of that person and I often don't. I dislike Trump but I also disliked Clinton and I will not support someone who I think is a walking dumpster fire just because I might like whichever letter they put next to their name.
