NOT reigned in by the current administration. You get to vote on wedge issues and wedge issues alone. The police state and corporate control are growing under both parties.

I suppose the good news is that on wedge issues we still have a choice, just not on any of the things you mentioned.

I know many of you don't like this news, but blame the news and not the people that comment on it.
Please.
