Criminals can be victims, victims can be criminals. Those are two facts that have nothing to do with each other. Besides the oppressed always punch down. There is a reason why that 12 year old was mean to you when you were 7 and didn't go to the nearest biker bar and start talking smack. If this concept is still confusing go on Blue Sky or Twitter and attract attention to yourself. Watch how fast the oppressed smell weakness on you.

Meh sometimes for local government there aren't a lot of good options. You can't really primary an incumbent and going independent just makes it that much harder. However, I assume you weren't talking about city comptroller you were talking a real position like Congress or Governor

Ask yourself the same question. Not trying to pick on you but think of all the people on your side that are only on your side because of they agree with you on like 25% of the issues or because or some quality.

Just an example of something people are relatively calm about: I can be pro-union for lumberjacks but not want the Pacific Northwest to become a dead parking lot and the spotted owl to be extinct. I agree with them on one issue and not others.

I wonder how much it is the parties changed and how much it is we changed as a people. When I was a kid it was a race to the middle, the majority of the population could vote either way. Now the middle is basically gone and power is from who can get their base motivated.

Hmm clearly I need to repeat myself with you.

Let me know if you need a primer on logical fallacies. I am sure I can find one for your level.

Must have been the freedom fries, right?

Must suck living in a place with 450 million people none of which can think for themselves and instead are just vessels for the thoughts of other civilizations

Own up to your own crap if you want to fix it, or don't own it and blame foreigners. See if I care.

It sucks I know. Happened to me twice. If it helps any it probably wasn't the people you worked with, it was a financial "engineer" who did this.

I have done it both ways. Stuck in out thru layoffs and jumped ship when they happened. Generally, if you can, I think jumping ship is better.
