32. Sometimes I want to let progressives experience the

rightwing sewer they would be in if not for moderates that side with progressives. It feels like being the kid in school that respects everyone, but has a weaker kid constantly slapping him or her across the face because the thoughtful kid does not overtly take their side. I am at nearly the Michael-Fredo stage with progressives, but I will bite my tongue and not only support with money, but with my feet and ultimately with my vote and anyone that I can convince to vote as I vote. I can't wait until the day when rightwingers have been forced back into the basement, locked in and I can settle my differences with some of the more obnoxious progressives.
