Being forced to vote for someone that doesn't represent you is democracy.

Im not sure why the blue conservatives are so worried about a one party government. Just work within the republican primary system and earn your incremental change!

What's wrong, you dont trust how republicans run their primaries?

Excluding religion and conspiracy theories, expensive speaker cables produce sound quality that is superior to cheap cables. Turning a phone off in an aircraft improves safety. My daughter's teacher confidently informed me that bicycles are more dangerous than cars. That was probably the most depressing and stupid.

I was experiencing auditory hallucinations when trying to sleep, tried to tell my mom about it. She told me the house was haunted and I was hearing the ghosts.

My father built that house when I was a baby.
