    People in America thinking that our only option is democrat or republican. The only reason we have to keep settling for the “lesser of two evils” is because we’ve convinced ourselves that it’s impossible to do otherwise.

    It’s the definition of a self-fulfilling prophecy. We’re shooting ourselves in the foot every time we fall for it.
