That is such a trite argument.

Truth hurts, donut?

Sure, and all the kids can become president, too.

Welcome to a Republic come democracy in the post-modern culture.


The party machine and money (lots of it) decides which of a couple of
crooks end up on my ballot.

Last Senate election in my area, there were five different parties on the

As for "trite", it's rather trite to rail against politicians who have been
re-elected four, five, eight times. Every time they ran and ran again, there
was an opposition candidate.

Or, you can just engage in denial.
