66. Not doing anything stupid.
Tue Jun 7, 2016, 01:28 PM
Jun 2016

Just watching the true colors of "my party" over the last few election cycles, and it's all there for the observant to see: the Democratic party is the "Blue Republican" party now. The only difference between the parties now is that most of the religious crazies are on the Republican side. My view is more nuanced than that. There are GOOD people in the Democratic party, and they're worth fighting for, and worth supporting with sweat and with dollars, but they're fewer and farther between more than ever.

And while the Repubs are hell-bent on destroying everything in their path, too many Dems are just sitting back and watching it happen.
