It's not. I really believe this is the first time in our mofo LIFETIMES that we have the chance to elect someone who is not just tolerable or okay but genuinely great: someone who has walked the walk and is smart, ethical, compassionate, and wise. We need him to dig this country out of the shithole it's in. I personally am willing to do whatever it takes to get him elected. I know many of us had our spirits broken in 2004 but this is a different (and even more urgent) situation; we have to look on it with new eyes. Keep your fingers crossed for New Hampshire and if you live in a state where your primary means something, get busy!ekmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12876615471245115062noreply@blogger.com
