Illuminating American Politics: What smelly fish to eat?

If one can accept the notion that as Mark Twain said; "Politics is the last refuge of scoundrel." then for most us it becomes of choice of what smelly fish to eat. So what day old smelly fish do we choose? Well obviously it would be the one best preserved and smelled the least. Well if you are not a part of the wealthiest 10% that would leave you struggling like the rest of us, that answer is pretty clear.
Let us start with what fish not to eat. The one on the Right decidedly smells bad. This reeking carcass has never provided any sustenance for the working man. Quite the contrary it is the great sucker fish of The American Dream. This Mud Cat opens it's great maw and sucks at the efforts of others until they are dry. Does this hulking beast look out for others, no it does not. It has resisted any improvement over time to increase the economies of others through a steady diet of Greed, Avarice and Gluttony. Did they champion anything for the common man? No, this stinking hulk has always looked out for those that could afford to buy it's great girth. The Wealthy. They did not vote to pass Social Security, Medicare, Minimum Wage, Financial Regulations, Workplace Safety, Equal Rights, Civil Rights or any other measure that has the taint of Social Justice, for them maintaining the Status Quo is all that matters. This fish may look good due to its great girth, but is surely bloated and gaseous and it will cause you great harm. The Mud Cat looks to feed the parasitic, fetid fat beast that counts on low taxes, low wages and greater productivity so that it might increase it's already Gross weight.
Let us look at the fish on the left. While stinky it has a decidedly less offensive odor than the Great stinking Mud Cat. This fish looks to sustain the masses in more even handed manner. While great in size, it is willing to leave a little more in the pond to sustain the rest of the population. It has built the Social Safety net that others would see destroyed so that they may enjoy a richer life. Always looking out for the worker instead of the owner. Always looking for a cleaner less muddied area to swim. Trying to provide for all instead of the few. Always looking out for those that may look and act different but have value for that diversity. Always looking to change and progress as they know to stay static is to die, one must keep swimming.
So while the fish on the right may look fat it is full of shit and is bad for you. Eat the fish on the left it smells less and will not leave you puking in disgust at the end of the meal.
