The Virginia GOP is now an accomplice to systematic state sanctioned rape. It is the same in Texas.

The GOP in general sides with corporations which would prefer to be considered people when convenient for them which are metaphorically raping the populace by hiring lobbyists that forcefully insert (without the publics consent) legislation that for their own gain. Now they have taken this a step further into litterally raping women who wish to have a legal medical procedure performed by requiring penetration without consent of women by ultrasound equipment.

The way I see it is this: You can throw your vote away on the grand old rapist party which never cared about you before and one could argue actually dislikes you now, the average voter. Or, you can always vote democrat / progressive which while is not perfect by any means either, is actually trying to produce policies that work best for everyone.

Even further distilled. Vote GOP and get stepped on + deficits. Vote Dem and get deficits due spending on stuff you actually wanted (teachers and public services, safety regulations, clean air and water, accountable corporations, ect, ect.)

If the American public was able to vote with their money by buying government services a la carte at say, tax time, every bs GOP initiative would go unfunded.

Money is speech now right? I should then logically have the right to "speak" freely. The government taking my money for things I disapprove of is effectively forcing me to speak for what I do not support or believe in. I have no first amendment right if I am told what to say.

Wait, I can think of an honest GOP member who cared about the American people(no it wasn't Boehner though he cries enough to give you that impression.) Abraham Lincoln
