38. Its not a tantrum, and its not vengeance.

Thu Dec 12, 2024, 11:29 AM

They voted to stick their finger in the socket. Why is it our parties job now (and always) to go back to DC and work to turn the voltage down? On what rational basis should this be done? And with what political power (that those same voters just took from us, btw) should we be expected to turn that voltage down?

It's not vengeance, it's just how Leopards be. And it's not our fault they voted to take the leashes away from us.
