The false dichotomy of Left/Right, Liberal/Conservative, Dem/Rep, Blue/Red is killing this nation. So allow me to paraphrase Étienne de La Boétie :
“Resolve to vote no more and you are at once freed. I do not ask that you rebel against the State, but simply that you support it no longer; then you will behold it, like a great Colossus whose pedestal has been pulled away, fall of its own weight and break in pieces.”
