I'm not Obama. I love Guns and Coal and I hate the EPA.
What. The. Fuck. Was that? Hello I'm a Republican with a "D" next to my name. Vote for me?
My dear Democratic Politicians, stop it. Just stop it. Turn off the noise machine. STOP LETTING REPUBLICANS DEFINE YOU. And if you are in it for the money, take a hike.
We are better than this. The country, and the world have some serious problems, stop playing politics. You don't need to "play games" you need to stand for what is right. Next cycle, talk about the issues, the environment, student loans, income inequality, minimum wage, health care, act like you give a shit about the values that made Democrats what they are. When Obama did that people came out and voted for him. Lots of blame being laid at the feet of "lazy voters", but those lazy voters came out when they thought they had something to vote for..
Whatever you do.. PUT DOWN THAT STUPID GUN AND TRY NOT TO TELL ME THAT FOSSIL FUELS ARE AWESOME. In case you hadn't noticed, the ice is melting.
