    They never hear that. It’s always about “bipartisanship.” And these are who we’re stuck voting for to stop the Republican agenda. Fucking hell.

      The other thing I hear from status quo warriors is “We want things back to normal.”

      No, we fucking don’t! Normal sucks donkey ass for a lot of people.

          “If normal was progressive and helpful, then we want whatever came before that” is the subtext. It’s moustache-twirlingly evil.
