    not repeating over and over again

    suffering through the Democrat/Republican rule over and over again worse every year

    and every time a glimmer of hope shines through we have the corporate parties to shut it out

    remember when the two parties chained a presidential candidate to a chair because they were afraid of someone else on the debate floor

    elections have turned into a political soap opera with two people bashing each other

      I don’t remember the parties chaining a candidate to a chair. I know you’re not talking about Jill Stein as that would be a gross mischaracterization. It would be like me saying she was a paid agent of Putinist Russia.

      With that, the 2012 Green party presidential ticket moved back into the road and sat down, refusing to move. After ignoring calls to get out of the way of the flow of traffic, they were arrested.
