    Did you just "get" me? Did I just "get got?"

Not at all what I am trying to do.

I'm trying to assemble a more internally consistent and less hopeless worldview. A part of that is the willingness to vote blue team and not completely hate myself for doing it. Im trying to understand how these two things can be reconciled.

1. The repeal of Glass-Steagall opened pandora's box of financial fuckery that likely will never be able to be closed.

2. A Democrat president with a Democratic majority in both house and Senate not only allowed it to happen but encouraged and supported it.

And these are the people I am supposed to be giving my support to? You already know my opinion of lesser-evilism

I am envious of your apparently clean political conscience. I am in pursuit of one for myself.
