      yes it's about 2 party politics but the idea that "both sides are bad" inherently gives the impression of false equivalency. we need to reform our political landscape indeed. On that we can probably all agree. We need to find our common ground. And be able to choose representatives that are free from rigid party platforms that come bundled with a lot of baggage. The first step is to make it possible for a 3 or 4th candidate to be competitive. Instant runoff voting would help. Also removing big money from the equation would help level the playing field.
      Letting corporations pick our politicians and write our laws isn't working out for us.

    • @raveoreynolds6049

      Actually, as a huge Eric fan, I would say he's typically pretty bad live. Not for a lack of effort or anything, but he'll be the first to say he's a song writer turned performer. His voice just doesn't handle the strain of the road very well. BUT I agree that this particular performance was surprisingly a good outing.

    • @mydogdoestricks503
      @mydogdoestricks503 Před 5 lety

      Aaron Schmitz, I guess we’ve had different experiences with seeing him live. I’ve seen him a few times over the past 13 years, and it seems like he just gets better every time. I am familiar with the backstory of songwriter turned performer, but I think after all these years, that’s pretty irrelevant. I do admit when he gets a little too much JD in him, he gets a bit hard to understand or even forgets the words at times, but the crowd usually helps him out! 😎
