the most frustrating aspect of this campaign to me is that it has stripped me down to bare pragmatism
"does this give us a better chance to beat Trump" is the only thing that is important to me anymore

I really cannot overstate how much it would be fucking amazeballs for the US to be fighting about positive visions for the future and on policy, and how much it fucking sucks that this year is our third cycle in a row where instead we're running a national referendum titled "sooooooo fascism?"
"the prohibition in the 14th removing the ability of traitors to hold office is old, arcane and unclear"
"The 14th amendment clearly grants personhood to a zygote, as the founders intended"

"Mr Roberts, can you read aloud the entire text of the 14th amendment, just for no reason"
