The word HAROLET comes to mind. Your right we currently have one communist party playing the other, WELFARE OF COMMON CITIZEN IS OF NO CONCERN. The government today is full of graft and shills. All of which work for tech companies and foreign governments outside influences all are conspiring to steal America's Treasures what little is left. In American history no government was more corrupted then 44 administration. Suggest strongly get rid of all democrats, every last one. Start a new political party. Government does not and should NEVER ever stand against its people. THIS IS COMMUNISM NOT SOCIALIZM. MY PEOPLE GIFTED THE CONSTITUTION to the Colonies. So it belongs to American citizens. Canassatego gave the constitution to Jefferson for the 13 Colonies in 1744 during the Colfax land deal. My Great Grandfather Canassatego said, "Let us all live like brothers and sisters till the STAR fall from the sky." He didn't say black people or white he said, ALL. But your unfortunately RIGHT, are 55 great republicans and 3 democrats. Same old political games with these FOLKS. HOW DOES IT FEEL KNOWING YOUR PERSONAL LIFE, FAMILY AND FUTURE IS A GAME TO THESE BOSO'S.
