I'm So Disappointed with Schumer and Jeffries. They Don't Agree with Me 100%.

35. My answer has to do with only one thing - Elections.

That's the part you're missing here. The day to day legislative and administrative battle is irrelevant, if we allow those things to interfere with our elections.

Twice in recent history, we have lost the highest office in the land because of people who said things like, "Well, I just don't like her, so I'm voting for (name a third-party candidate). We failed to elect Hillary Clinton and we failed to elect Kamala Harris. Instead, we got Donald J. Trump.

How did that work out, do you think? And we're moving in that direction once again. What will we do in 2028? Hell, what will we do in 2026? Will we shun some candidates who are not sufficiently progressive and let yet another Republican win in some race or races? In actual fact, there is a likelihood that we will do exactly that.

We've done it before and we're likely to do it again.

Those next two elections will likely be my last elections. That sucks, but what sucks more is that there's a fair chance we'll lose again by insisting that candidates meet 100% of our demands. They never will. They never do. We vote for them to avoid a far worse situation. Or, we should, anyhow.

But, we haven't done that far too many times, and it has cost us dearly. I hope we don't do that again - ever again.

I'm not convinced, though, that we will not, once again, make the same lame mistake we made those last two times.

VOTE FOR DEMOCRATS! EVERY LAST F-ING TIME! NOTHING LESS WILL DO.
