Do you know what I'm more worried about than the Michigan primary? Climate change. It's pretty much the only news item which I cannot read when it comes across my feed because it's so fucking terrifying. Maybe we should elect Democrats to fix that shit instead of fighting amongst ourselves.
Anti-War protest tonight at 6 pm at the White House. Spread the word!
Jesus, people. I'm pissed off too, but you do realize that the only chance we have to win our democracy back is as big tent Democrats right? So be cranky, but understand this is our team. It's our only team.
