Does Mr Buffett meet DC’s criterion for a capitalist who isn’t manifestly corrupt? Apparently he wrote the following in his annual letter to shareholders.

That's consistent with what I was saying about the current Republican party. There's nothing about conservativism. It has become a populist party whose platform consists solely of owning the libs.

And they're vying against a party that just attacks people they disagree with rather than the actual ideas.

Come to Forward, c'mon, third parties aren't that bad...

I think this is all pretty damn accurate.

Id also add the party that labels itself as tolerant is incredibly intolerant of anything that doesn't ride their line.


third parties are necessary, now more than ever.
