Sunday

...just ranting off of it.

Just fed up with the opportunistic digs at a party that wasn't granted a majority, expecting them to do what voters refused to equip them for.

It's a perverse game of 'you're not doing enough convince US to do what we should know well is our responsibility in a binary system of politics and elections that has a fascist party taking things from Americans and gifting themselves and their rich friends on one end, and a proven producer/provider party for Americans on the other.'

The idea that we have to mollycoddle ANYONE into saving themselves from the country-killing republicans is a hoot. Really something that I'm well tired of.

I realize you're in the way of all my ranting, and I apologize for that. Not directed at you.
