And let's see where these political tools rank on the despicable scale. Political tools of the right...these things have been on the top of my despicable political tool list for over 4 decades. "Openness and honesty from the right...my ass.
I don't have to create a comparative list of useful political tools. I did it a long time ago. And it's why I've been a progressive all my life.
One last fucking thing. I didn't bring up party. I'm comparing progressives with conservatives...when I do that it's always you people who bring up "Democrats." It's always you people who resort to "party" labels. It's all you got.
