    Mostly due to the current world kerfufles… but I agree in principal. I’m not fond of nearly any dems in leadership but I want them in power so that we can focus efforts on fixing the party rather than an existential crisis to democracy.

    It was meant somewhat tongue in cheek, I realize the parties are miles apart. However, if the entire republican party disappeared, we’d still have a shitshow of a government.

      …but one that wouldn’t base their entire platform on being the fourth Reich.
      Swimming in shit is still better than bobbing for french fries.

        It helps very little when the opposition to such a group bases their entire strategy on being Neville Chamberlain.

        Right, which is why I said I’d prefer them… You’re proving my point, swimming in shit is nearly as bad as bobbing for fries in it. Personally if I’m submerged in shit, I’m not that concerned with getting some in my mouth, I need the fuck out of the shit.
