    Interesting how fusty goes on at length about every tiny thing the Democrats do and then excuses his lack of Repubican coverage as "they're hopeless why bother?" I'll grant him this, he learned from all the criticism that he must work harder at pretending to be both-sides-objective while constantly trashing Dems as the problem. He switched up his tactics, leaned his posts a little more left, and has continued his agenda without losing a beat.

    He doesn't want liberals and conservatives to actually come together and solve problems, he wants liberals to look bad for not solving problems and conservatives to not take any further PR hits. He can admit Repubicans are shit, because even Runaway and TMB say so, there is no danger to his occasional trashing of Republicans.

    If he was honest he would be highlighting both party's corruption in order to unify conservatives and liberals against the two party nonsense. If we banded together and dropped the more contentious issues for a short bit we could make progress.

    However, conservatives don't want to make things better, they want to stop all change and progress and they realize the demographics are against them. So the hardcore Conservatives will never work with any liberal which is why we get all the trolling, bad faith arguments, and propaganda journals from fusty here. Every fraction of a percent increase in disaffected liberal voters is a win for them.
