into words that are more coherent and much less profane than I can manage.


This especially:

The only bipartisanship that exists in America today, is the bipartisanship where both the left and the right will demand the person on the left resign.

I love being a Democrat, but I hate myself for being in the only voting bloc in America that is required and expected to hold their politicians accountable.

If only one set of voters is required to hold their politicians accountable, not only do you drive people out of positions where they could impact the balance of power, but you piss off the people that want those positions to impact the balance of power.

It is so frustrating that one side is expected to follow rules that the other side has NEVER actually followed.
