It'd be enough to make me despair, if the last year hadn't already sunk me to enough of a low.
We're surrounded on all sides by some of the most despicable political adversaries in the countries history, people who want to deport kids to countries they've barely ever seen, want to flood schools with guns, want to take away a woman's right to choose, want to remove taxes on the super wealthy while taking away every safety net that keeps millions of vulnerable people's heads above water, want to make healthcare a preserve of the rich while the poor die of easily treated illnesses or accidents.
And the threads that get the most replies here are ones where people can jump in and attack Bernie Sanders, one of the most progressive politicians in the country.
Perhaps we did end up with the president the country deserves.
