re: #8 HappyWarrior

I still remember feeling bewildered by Lincoln Chafee’s excuse at the time why he couldn’t leave the party. Something about Abraham Lincoln and being named for him. Thing is the Republican Party at least in my life time has not stood for the principles Lincoln did.

Yeah, I saw some Facebook graphic delineating the Democratic Party’s admittedly shitty history regarding civil rights.

The thing that the graphic conveniently left out is that the Democrats finally got their shit together. The Republicans rushed to fill the Angry White Voter gap that was left behind.
