and if you're in a solid red state, well, fuck the fact that you might be working 40 to 60 hours a week-- you're clearly not involved enough for GOTV efforts. Hmmm.

It's important we keep pretending to know which Democrat is real and which isn't. Not only does it allow us a somewhat more generous perception of our own cleverness (a validation obviously needed), it also allows us to rationalize our focus on the diaphanous general rater than the policy specific.

Nice job there, little fella.
