General Discussion
In reply to the discussion: Where's the Republican outrage? [View all]It is heartening to see some of the dams starting to break, but end of the day, it simply is not enough to expose and point to how fucking horrible these assholes are.
We can count on one hand the number of elected democrats with two working balls - Sanders, Warren, Franken ...
Meanwhile, there are 100s of Rs in congress and and key leaders in state legislators and Governors who are fire breathing, all in hard right lunatics who relentlessly and vociferously push their insane bullshit.
People are just flat fucking stupid in mass, and while we are the 1/3 that deals in reality and reason, their 1/3 deals in their fantasy land and the other 1/3 just goes with the tides, which is always right wing lunacy.
Our elected officials have to STAND for something, they have to stake our flag, be proud, and give the mushy middle something ot believe in.
Bill Clinton said it best, better to be wrong and strong than weak and right.
Simple reality of dealing with the public.
