What about "conservatives" at this point isn't plain evil?
I don't like the point at which I have arrived, but here we are. Our opposition is evil, plain and simple. That goes against my grain, which is to negotiate and debate and work things out. But there is no negotiating with "conservatives." There is no debate because they have no real argument--only hate. So I reluctantly paint "conservatives" as evil. Please prove me wrong.
And it is this desire to be proven wrong that makes discussions with the "both sides are evil" types so frustrating. Yes, Democrats are far from perfect. But there is a huge difference between Democrats and "conservatives" and the Democratic Party is our best and only hope at fighting this evil. Not voting is not an option. Not voting isn't a statement, it's a surrender. Why? Because evil "conservatives" aren't going to surrender. What you see in Indiana is pushback, pushback against our progress. And the "both sides are evil" crowd are, if not for us, then they're against us.
And you know what? Yes, I am saddened by the evil of "conservatives" but they are a minority. They are a far too well represented minority, but a minority nonetheless. It is the people who give up who truly sadden me because while they're not evil (I don't think) they are succumbing to evil.
That sucks.
