>"your people" say all the right words. They still failed, out of either incompetence or corruption.

Wall of text author here. Not sure why you went after that guy who was just trying to offer useful advice to someone else.

I'm gonna assume that "your people" means the Democratic party and those who support that party. I'm open to being corrected though.

You're conclusion in the last sentence is wrong. Like so many libertarians/conservatives it is way too binary - EITHER/OR.

Expand your mind a bit and consider the reality that it is more likely an AND/OR situation where the AND is the maximum likelihood. I don't see a realistic world where incompetence AND corruption can't work side by side to yield the same results and I've been around long enough to have seen plenty of evidence for both working in concert.

The world is not black and white, it is shades of grey once you consider the edge cases.

Thanks for commenting on this thread.
