Oh how I love to read passages containing straw-man based vilification and sanctimonious finger-pointing, as exemplified by,

"...according to many voters who unaccountably believe that theirs was the last virtuous generation, despite how they are actually the ones who spent the last 30 years fucking up the economy and environment"

because it reflects a totally in-depth and comprehensive understanding of history and serves as a convenient all-purpose excuse to place oneself above all others and assert total blamelessness while avoiding any critical self-examination. Yes, all of humanity can be sorted into two groups, the Good Ones and the Bad Ones, based solely on year of birth.

Come on, Alex. I've read many of your previous posts, and I know that you are a better writer than this.

Guns, God, <strike> Gays</strike> (they've kind of lost that one), Abortion, Xenophobia, and a lifetime of being indoctrinated into irrationally hating Democrats, along with incessant appeals to greed and selfishness.

The fact that any of these races are as close as they are to R victories, with such miserable Rethuglican candidates, is a testament that too many stupid people vote. Or, not enough smart ones.

They say JFK won the 1960 West Virginia primary by handing out bottles of whiskey with $20 bills attached with rubber bands.

Grimes blew it- she had a legitimate shot at Yertle, but she's had a series of missteps lately. Plus, you can't win when you run away from everything your party stands for- including the sitting POTUS

I bet if we run on the idea of decriminalizing consensual bestiality we could get a high percentage of the GOP to crossover.

If you could give us the exploding pig shit foam recipe we'd be eternally grateful.
