Know your meme.

The GOP is permanently fucked. It fucked itself by incubating the Tea Party which has now taken over its junk like some kind of weaponized herpes virus. You can’t get rid of them, they’d rather destroy the party than let you have it back. Just leave, and don’t look back.

Looked at the link. Still don’t see how that applies, I guess it’s sounds like fun even if it doesn’t mean anything. Like I said, you can congratulate yourself that you can resist the wingnut appeal, but the current state of affairs doesn’t really show any likelihood for change, other than to allow the wingnuts to remain close to dominating us. If you think a new party would somehow rise up from nowhere, it would always be a weak third party and not actually solve the problem we have, namely the proximity of the radical right to total power.

I was critical of Hillary Clinton about a week ago for running a tepid campaign and making mistakes. Some lizards thought I was a man of no goodwill and assumed I was parroting RW talking points. The fact is that Clinton is no Barack Obama (not many people are, it isn’t a slight), and people are assuming that she will inspire turnout like Barack Obama did. I don’t take it for granted. Combine that with voter restriction laws, and we could wake up one Wednesday morning and find that a close party line election went the wrong way.
