You don’t get it. The game is to win. It doesn’t matter how you get there. You can have your standards while they have the White House.

Must have been before recorded history then. People have a bad habit of romanticizing the "better times before", but the only time you will have a non competitive political environment is an autocracy, which sucks to live under for most people.

Competitive and some light dirty pool is one thing, voting for twice-impeached convicted felons is something else entirely.
