I think a reasonable discussion among reasonable people who disagree is how we can come up with solutions to the hard issues we face today. But this election made me so damn happy! I am almost hoping they get crazier.

But no. Not really. We need to have an opposition that actually makes sense sometimes so we don't become our own echo chamber.

...OK, OK, I hope the Republicans become sane.

(But wasn't Tuesday so much fun????)
