The Jellyfish Party

I broke my longstanding policy of not donating money to political parties last fall when the folks from the DNC called and asked for money to help gird them for the upcoming fights over judicial seats. I was assured that indeed they would fight to keep right-wing extremists off the Supreme Court.
And now, faced with a clear-cut extremist (and dissembler) who is about to not only overturn the right to obtain an abortion, but also to pave the path for an imperial executive branch with limitless powers … nothing.
I’m not terribly inclined, as my readers know, to use profanity in my posts. But if the Democratic Party wants any more of my money, they can just go fuck themselves.
I’m as pissed as the next person at the Dems, but, let’s be realistic, they are our only chance at political change. Despite the fact that they are not what we want them to be, they are much, much better than the Republicans. Let’s be realistic, we need to keep supporting the Dems. Perhaps if we supported them more, or more loudly, they’d be better.
Or maybe it is time to go single-party and build a sane wing of the Republican party.
Or maybe it is time for me to remember to take my antidepressants.
