The words 'Republican' and 'Darwin' should never be affiliated with each other.

I take it you never heard of Social Darwinism?

Nonsense. The chronically naive tend to be unaffiliateds.

How's that universal healthcare working out for you?

That's a strange question to ask me. (Though I'm sure that you'll be delighted to learn that, at least for me, the Affordable Care Act has so far worked out just fine.)

My point is this: People who are politically active are 1) more likely to identify with a party than those who are not, and 2) tend to be more knowledgeable about both issues and what is politically practicable.

My point was that what was supposed to be a public option turned into a watered down hand out to the insurance industry.
So yeah, if you want to believe that voting for the less corporatist party is going to get any real meaningful results be my guest.
