My issue was in the ambiguity of this sentence: I won't miss another opportunity to explicitly state for the 90%+ of lurker traffic that I think this boils down to neofascism (R.) vs. a democracy that desperately needs improving (D.). Thanks for the soapbox.? Edit: Once again, I hate text shit, and you're cool, l8rAnd right now, I'd say neither party is doing that, so my votes will continue to go to the candidates who I see as least damaging.
Yeah I knew what your issue was. You guys are too easy to trigger. Before any policy consideration, I'll vote for the anti-illiberal candidate. Democrats are the default for that right now, but they're creeping steadily toward full Thought Police territory. There's so much I haven't said even on this site for fear of getting shouted down for an idea. And I'll tell you it's never our couple token conservatives doing the shouting. So yeah, I'll tenuously vote democrat as a bulwark against the current brand of conservatism, but I'm not gonna feel good about either party until their illiberal demons are exercised.
