seems like democrats want to run on reducing the deficit, now.

yeah. that's what the country needs - less spending.

fuck.

it's an unavoidable consequence of a two-party system - you don't get any kind of dialectic, you just get this constant pull in one direction or the other. so, you end up with the democrats trying to position themselves to the right of the republicans.

i was concerned that trump would collapse the state by reducing the size of the government, which is the reason that the soviet union collapsed. thankfully, he's not actually doing that. is it what the democrats want?

vote democrat for perestroika?
