even while they support exploitative corporate policies.

How many times have we heard the "lesser of two evils" speech around here? And look where we are. Look at the abominations we have witnessed over the past three years.

It is very easy to move rightward when someone else is further right. And playing the two sides against each other allows one to forge faux "compromises" that neither side would have accepted if they had been presented honestly at the outset....like mandating every single American to purchase an outrageously expensive corporate product.

That is part of the beauty of purchasing both parties.
