    I view the two parties as a hammer (republicans) and an anvil (democrats). The hammer actively makes life worse and the anvil is there to support the shape that the US has been hammered into. For one example, look at how the democrats have moved right on immigration and deportation, following the republican lead, over the last several administrations. Don’t vote for the hammer, sure, but the anvil sure as hell isn’t gonna change things back to how they were.

      hammer and anvil? two tools that are useful together to make shapeless and formless materials better, stronger, and more valuable?

      I wish the US had two parties like that; shit might actually start getting better for the metal class.
