You know, that’s entirely possible.

Let me ask you an equally stupid question: do you not think that he cooperated and coordinated with the Russians and the Trump campaign in WikiLeaks’ most significant activities?

Good point - nothing can stop assholes from stacking the deck with other assholes. But, nearly anything is better than this antiquated, creaky two-party apparatus. Look at all the furor over Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez: someone whose integrity on the issues outweighs her willingness to tongue-bathe the party is elected,…
That’s fucking capital-H Heresy, Guardsman.
