    There are so many things but I really need to say: Republicans

    As I started paying attention to politics, I started noticing patterns. And they’ve been getting more extreme over the years. It’s easy to say conservative positions sound good, and it’s easy to say all politicians are cynical self-centered liars with no intentions except amassing power and wealth. But if you’re paying any attention at all, you see Republicans far worse, far more blatant lies, far more corrupt and it isn’t even close.

    Then I come online and see Republicans trying to justify absolute shitty behavior, hold themselves above the law, govern by obstruction. They used to say they had goals, a foundation, beliefs but I’d like to see them act constructively for their constituents with those beliefs. Please. Meanwhile people start trumpeting a case of Democrat malfeasance and other Democrats are at the front of the line to see justice done. Sometimes it can be difficult to maintain cynicism.

    But then we come down to my vested interests. In a strong believer in education, science, technology, investing for the future. One party has not just given up, but actively obstruct across the board

      Hell, Arizona Republicans just passed a law in the senate to ban any attempt to mitigate climate change or increase city walkability. But both sides, vote third party! /s
