2016 Elections

[AFTT47]

Brian!  You're an optimist.

That usually doesn't end well.

Um dont confuse optimist with delusional idealism. I am in no pursuit of a utopia. If you don't at least try you don't get anything at all. If you want to give up, you can. I wont. 

You're a trooper, Brian. I appreciate and respect that. Sometimes, I read your stuff and see someone who is half-cocked, extremist and over the top. There's never any denying your grit and determination though.

I agree with you 100% in this case. I don't see much use for defeatism. You go for what you believe in. Even if you fail, at least you retain your self-respect.

I like Hillary, myself. I wish she was more left socially but I like her centralist views regarding the economy and national defense.

The bottom line though is that the GOP MUST be opposed because they are a major, fucking problem. They will set us back as a country socially, scientifically and diplomatically. They are the party of the 15th century. They need to wake to fuck up and establish a different base - one that doesn't revel in ignorance as if it were a virtue.
