I think the point is Americans have been content with choosing the lesser of two evils for generations- instead of trying to eradicate evil from the system to begin with.
Yes well that is dumb. Because people have been trying to eradicate evil for generations (its one of the reasons why we are living in the safest and least war filled era that has ever existed)
It's inherent in the two-party system. That's why we need the House of Representatives to have at least 10 times as many members as it does, for starters, and for those Representatives to be required to have an office in their home district from which they can telecommute for debates and votes.
Dude, if you think Putin DOESN'T do all those things, you've got another think coming. This was the guy in charge of foreign KGB wetworks operations back in the Cold War. Broski makes Obama look like a piker.
...but remember who INITIATED the programs that spy on Americans, execute people without trial, and use drones to kill people.
only those blissfully naive think that once these programs start, it's a simple thing for a president, in this political environment, to just stop them.
