The right and left have now enjoined anti-government (RW) and anti-corporate (LW) issues to culture war issues as a GOTV base issues. Which is where we need to now put our focus.

While media and RW people can "both sides do it" against the anti-corporate left, they won't go after the anti-government right. Because their corporate donors hide that fact behind their campaign culture war script!

Those donors and their menacing party will persist in destroying for-the-people government if this here party of ours does not nuke the filibuster outright and get ON with real hardass enforcement governing -- tossing all brinksmanship, statehouse moves and grievance BS -- for the next three years.

Of course, these two fine gentlemen had nothing to do with that.
