Turning the ship of state around is why we're here, though we disagree on how many degrees to port.

Yes, we are aware that the revolutionaries on the Right struck first, as they always do. We can't even get a great Democratic turn-out for an election, and they have the game rigged so that their money counts for more than their GOTV.
