I was wrong, I can admit that. I was a hopeful fool.

Just because someone's philosophy is wrong, doesn't mean they are dumb IMO.
theres that overly-blunt and simplistic saying that if you're not a liberal at 20 you're heartless, and if you're not a conservative at 40 you're brainless

i find myself in an uncomfortable place seeing the dem party lose the majority of it's power and influence, the US gov't as a whole has burned so much credibility that the current admin is trying to release JFK, RFK, MLK files to try and recoup some credibility, the idea being "Hey trust us, we're different, we'll release information that you all already knew, and also, It's the Gulf of America, because fuck yeah!"

These token actions just open a door to a path that could rebuild some tacit trust in gov't, but not nearly enough.

I'll donate a year's salary to the dem party if they said they would get private equity the hell out of the housing market.

That would actually be something that could improve the lives of Americans.
