FUCKING BOOOOOOOOOO

This is so ridiculous. I don't understand how people can live with themselves after punishing people for the "crimes" of their parents.

Our country is being run by assholes

Disgusting assholes.

God, I hope turnout in November is so high that even if it doesn't flip Congress (pleasepleaseplease) some of these petty state level jackasses who ruin things that directly affect the daily lives of so many get booted.

On that note, I volunteered to become PCO at our state primary back in March. We haven't had a PCO (precinct committee officer) since before I moved here twelve years ago. I am the first. The appointment was official by the end of April. Our county chair is a young woman who is an ardent Bernie supporter. Her dad, a Bernie supporter, is the Treasurer. Parliamentarian and some others on the board...all Bernie supporters Socialist/Progressives working to "up-end" the Democratic party at our local and county level and push it left.
I had some words with DadMo (the treasurer, as we call him because "Dad") about a notice he shared regarding signing up to become PCO, with a decided "left leaning Progressive let's push out the establishment Dems" message.

One of the Berniest of the Berners sent out an e-mail calling for Progressives to sign up for PCO. They "only have to attend two meetings in December and January and vote in the slate that supports the Progressive movement."

Guess who has an opponent as of the last day of filing for PCO. Never once has there been one person interested, until I signed up to keep a balance of moderates and then showed my ass in suggesting that DadMo shouldn't be posting an e-mail that states "push out the moderates" if he's working toward unity and a Big Tent party.

Putting that here because I'm pissed and also because Bernie doesn't support this shit, he just mouths it, so it reminded me how annoyed I am at the Progressive movement right now.

WOT?*, good for you for getting involved, though.

In-state tuition has been decided in some court or another, right? Ninth circuit? This has to be illegal.

I don’t get how so many people have lost site of how this country was founded, how most of OUR ancestors came here for the same reasons - a chance at a new/better life.

It’s the same exact thing for these people and all we can manage is to be utter assholes about it.
