I couldn't have said it better myself man

Great point. I suppose that can be said when it pertains to any subject of conversation.

Well said. Teaching children how to be decent human beings is essential to the positive progression of this country.

@josh_is_exciting There is a good reason to be hostile. When less than half the people registered to vote actually do so. If anyone believes we wouldn't be in a better place with Clinton as our President, they are too stupid to live.

something Madam Clinton never did, the majority of the world's population will despise your failure to be anything other than arrogant hubristic narcisistic bullies.

@Sticks48 Doesn't the wise person learn the futility of repeatedly doing the same thing in the hope of a new outcome? In politics the parties are not interested in your views once they are in power - they are only interested in being paid, re-elected in 4 years time, avoiding revolution and in making their financial backers happy.
And religion they only want to save your soul, which they invented, in order to have a free ride through life paid for by you.

@FrayedBear There are big differences in the two parties. BIG differences. This last election cost us one and maybe two Supreme Court Justice seats. Apathy is not going to change a thing. Voting people out of office does. People don't realise how huge Obama Care was and is. Once that passed, they could never go back to the old system. Health care will change and evolve now. No Obama Care, no change in the old system. Remember when Bush tried to privatize SS? When you give the people something, you can't take it back. they won't allow it. Elections have consequences.

@FrayedBear She won by three million votes, and would have had more if not for Comey and the pissy Bernie voters that stayed home and played, "Watch this, fuck us." There are no perfect systems of government, and in the most diverse population on the planet, there will never be a consensus on anything. It can always be made better.

@Sticks48 Isn't 45 busy dismantling Obama Care just as the UK and Australian non-socialist Governments are busy dismantling nationalised health care?
Didn't someone say that the camel was created out of a committee put together to develop a thoroughbred racehorse. Trouble was they couldn't agree anything and so consensus was reached and the camel was born!

@FrayedBear It is still here to some degree. They can't get rid of it. That is the main issue which caused them to lose the midterms. Obama Care made sure we can't go back to the old system. Even Obama said it was not the end-all-be-all, just a start.

Sad...but very kind and loving of you to empathize with a senior at the end of their life. Good judgement call.
