    While they aren’t immortal, there is something deeply unnatural about these zombies still walking the earth. Yes, the best medicine that money can buy is quite powerful, but cancer, Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s and various other degenerative diseases are so incredibly common at their age and are mostly irreversible.

    My wonderful grandmother lies, bed ridden, barely conscious in a care home, waiting for the end. And these freaks stumble around, withering before our eyes, yet always getting up again to inject a little more desperation and destruction into the world. It’s so bleak and I don’t know if I can stand another round of this charade.

      It’s really sick. People like Fienstein and Pelosi, rich beyond imagination, keeping their claws dug in to the seat of power until they literally die, and using their last moments to make the world worse. Just sick. I cannot imagine what is happening in their heads. The Democrats, specifically, being unable and unwilling to train up successors just mystifies me. All i can figure is that their politics begin and end at I got mine fuck you, and they don’t consider bringing up successors to keep the system stable and pursue long term goals.

        There is no “Democratic Party”. It’s not a party. It’s a privately held corporation. The members that compose it are all self-interested careerists in a cut-throat rat race. There is no common project, no shared goals, no unifying principles. Just a loose coalition of opportunists
