Imagine there is a group that does everything in it's power to block every positive change there could be.

Imagine further that the same group also does everything in it's power to change every positive thing into a negative.

Now imagine that >48% of people vote for that group.

And finally imagine you in a place like that.

Honestly, unimaginable.

That's why it drives me nuts when people get a cynical and say both parties are the same or that your vote doesn't matter. Pay attention to how the different parties vote!

Enlightened centrists are the worst. At least you know what you're getting with republicans.

You know what you're getting with centrists, too: snobby Republicans.

Centrists are a different breed though. They’ll agree with you until the part about actually doing something to fix a problem. At that stage, suddenly “now isn’t the right time”, “we can’t afford it”, and “we should focus on incremental change”. Fuck centrists.
