Every time we elect a Republican president we have to start rolling the ball all the way back up the hill again. Every goddamn time.

Good news! Apparently a lot of excitingly new young progressives are mad we haven’t rolled it back up high enough and are refusing to help!

Wait. Okay, not good news. Sorry.

Because they’re not rolling it up fast enough! Can’t you see? They just have to roll it faster and preferably all the way and then I’ll get excited and help. Yup. Don’t forget until then it’s all your fault too.

It is our fault that we aren’t organized enought. Empowering other progressives enough.

This is nonsense. If you believe that you should skip to violent revolution because you are not getting anywhere peacefully.

I’m saying I think that’s a good idea. But if you are going to refuse to vote for the better guy because he’s not good ENOUGH then you were never going to vote at all, and the rest of us will go back to persuading the last 3 swing voters.

Why aren’t you leading this violent revolution? Why are you telling others to do it?
