Forty kinds of toothpaste and only two parties

Have you been to the supermarket lately?

The toothpaste ailse stretches for a seriously ridiculous expanse. There is whitening, baking soda, cinnamon, gel, tartar control, Scope, sensitive, mint, cool mint, bubble gum, lemon mint, mild mint, regular, vanillia mint, natural....

But there are only two real choices when it comes to political parties, and nowadays there seems to be a dental floss width of difference between them. Toothpaste has evolved tremendously in the last thirty years, but democracy is devolving.

Republicans are becoming RHINOS and Democrats DINOS. The Greens, Libertarians, and Reform parties can't seem to win an election unless they run Jesse Ventura.

I'm just going to vote for whoever raises my taxes the least or taxes me the least, which may or may not be the same thing.
