We are already fighting knives with spoons, so we have to get our act together ...

1. Preach, brother!

Not to be too melodramatic, but though I've been a straight-ticket, democrat since my first vote at 18, I'm suddenly questioning why I keep voting for the same people who keep letting Republicans get away with their traitorous, racist, misogynistic, dog-whistling, bullshit. I don't blame Republicans for being soulless, bloodsucking chicken hawks - that's who they are. Rather, I blame the spineless weenies in our party for repeatedly offering an olive branch to republicans even as republicans have repeatedly taken a dump on the olive branch just before shoving it down our throats.

Frankly, I'm starting to feel politically homeless.
