Of course it is, naysayer.

> it's being intellectually tired.

Perhaps that's in part a cause of the former in your case ... but you aren't everyone and I was referring to bothsidesing generally.

> I just don't see the point of investing myself in caring when 98 percent of our reps just really don't care and only focus on manufacturing outrage around wedge issues that they can't or won't actually address so that they can keep their jobs and continue to accrue massive amounts of wealth from lobbying and insider trading.

More intellectual laziness, as well as intellectual dishonesty, offering ignorant simplistic but oh so handy explanations and excuses.

> We get Trump because the system is so thoroughly broken on both sides and enough people are frustrated the point that they are "protest" voting.

This is another fine example of such intellectual laziness. People who actually put in the effort to understand politics know how simplistic this is.

Since you're so tired and don't care, I won't respond further.
