31. "SUPPORT DEMOCRATS!!!"

Or you know....don't...except. I don't know.

I can't fucking keep up with what the rules are on here. Just days ago everyone was defending Franken until they were blue in the face and condemning anyone who might have had doubts. . Now the Democrats in the senate are jumping on him and pushing each other over to get in front of the microphone and camera to be the one to denounce him the loudest and people on here are making up excuses as to why that is suddenly o.k.

I fucking sick and tired of all of it. We're expected to fight and do everything we can and to abide by a specific set of rules, but then the powers that be in our party change those rules or break them themselves and we're supposed to not be pissed off or cheer them or bow before their sage wisdom or some fucking shit.
