    It’s kind of creepy how often small-town PA has been on national news lately. Luigi McDonalds, sinkhole lady, now this.

    Keep telling me how both sides are not the same.

    Edit: corruption is corruption and it does not matter your intentions or ideology. If you are willing to be ignorant and ignore it because of a letter by a name or because one side does things that align with your wants and needs you are still a part of the problem. There will be no change with either side because they work for the same master, greed. Keep downvoting and explaining how these criminals are different than the others. Good luck.

      Both sides are corrupt.

      One side is corrupt despite the well-intentioned support of principled people.

      The other is corrupt by design, enabled by the narcissistic support of bigots and sycophants.

      The former might do the best thing for the country.

      The latter will always do the best thing for their own self-interest.

      None of our leaders or representatives should be expected to resist corruption. That’s why we need checks and balances against corruption, and we as voters need to hold those representatives accountable.

      If you don’t care about trans people, women, various other marginalized groups, sure.

      It sucks, but in a world where some flavour of liberal is the opposition party to the right in most countries:

      Vote in the more left option in a two party choice, and things may improve for your average person.

      Vote the right-wing option in, you guarantee they won’t
