not saying the hashtag's wrong, but it might not be clear communication. and the protests - i guess that sends mixed messages too, apparently voters in WI think it's rude or something, and requires masochism at the polls in compensation. how the hell else do they keep re-electing this prick in the cradle of organized labor?
