Ok, I stipulate, having a Barack Obama or Beto O'Rourke to vote for is always better. I get it. But...
At best, our elected representatives are "statesmen" or "stateswomen" and do what's truly best for us. At worst, they just do what their donors want and what will line their own pockets. A neutral position is they are simply the proxy by which we express our will. That's how I view my Senators and Representative. My DEMOCRATIC PARTY-affiliated Senators and Representive will be a more perfect proxy for my wishes. The Republicans, we all know what they do.
I don't need to be fucking inspired. Did I need to be inspired to get up on Monday morning and go to work ? Well, it HELPED, yes, but 99% of the time I was NOT inspired.
Sorry, this Chris Hayes special is just pushing my buttons.
