Letter: Does this political system work? | Opinion

Date:

To the editor:

I know that politics have always been a circus in our country, but never have I felt so helpless and limited.

If I lean right, I am supporting a 77-year-old predatory liar in a wig. If I lean left, then I am supporting an 80-year-old creeper who is so senile that it is difficult for him to form complex sentences.

If I lean right, then I have to support automatic weapons, bump stocks and extended magazines. If I lean left, then I have to be willing to defund the police and military.

If I lean right, then I have to be willing to burn down my Capitol. If I lean left, then I have to be willing to burn down my neighborhood.

What would my grandfather say? Does this system work?
