I don't give a shit about the suffragetes.
And the hate the competing candidate doesn't fly either. There's an N word at the end of his second term. One would think they'd have fallen over themselves in endorsing McCain or Romney. But for some reason they didn't.

Both like to make a LOT of noise, but neither of them are especially good at listening to other people. Actual empathy, actually understanding other people's positions, it's so damn rare it's like a fucking super power.
