We got free home test kits. The wife has used them a couple times. Just a cold. I haven't had symptoms to warrant. We have both been jabbed and double boosted. I figure that is at a minimum fiscally...

The problem being when "speaking" in a political forum, terms such as most or least are usually thought of in extremist terms so most could be understood to be above 90% and least under 10%. Such as...

That would be the worst position for them to fall. A tire would make them try to rotate, forcing an attempted flattening of the sheet metal by trying to force the brake out.

In other words, they did it worse instead of they did it first? So two wrongs don't make a right but a small wrong and a great one do?

You make it sound like unaffiliated is synonymous with apathetic. I could reserve apathy to those who are in power and refuse to do their job. I still vote and make my voice heard.

I've been advocating a third party for most of my life. Unfortunately party affiliation seems to be as hard to change as any other belief system.
