Reply to comment by Devi1s-Advocate in Pennsylvania Makes Progress Toward Public Employee Pension Sustainability by greenhousecrtv

It’s amazing that you can find a way to still complain now that the state pension system isn’t barreling towards insolvency. Everyone always says they aren’t paid enough and usually they just have an inflated self worth. Clearly you just want a reason to complain about politicians every chance you get because you can’t take responsibility for your own pathetic life. Maybe we should just get rid of politicians all together and print magical funny money so tax payers can pay teachers six figure pensions. The politicians are our own creation and if voters aren’t intelligent enough to figure out which ones are doing a good job and which ones are only serving their own interest that’s their own damn fault.

Just because half the voters elect republicans that make shitty laws doesn’t mean they elect themselves

The fact that you think theres a difference between either party shows your ignorance...

No, it shows your inability to notice the differences and shows either you’re lazy or stupid or both

What is the alternative? The more people who take an apathetic view like you, the easier it is for one party to be worse than the other and still get elected.

Republicans are obsessed with making it harder to vote and easier to buy elections, shift funding to unregulated charter schools, lets companies extract natural gas from our land without paying an excise tax, refuses to address climate change…

If you haven’t noticed the difference, you aren’t paying close enough attention and your take that both sides are the same is lazy. Democracy isn’t perfect. It’s just better than all the other forms of government we have tried so far
