I'm basically a left-centrist, and for more than six years I have honestly tried to be "bigger" than those on the Right, to maintain some semblance of civility, but it's over. Fuck them. They unilaterally tore the country apart and now there's nothing left to say except Fuck The Right. Their claims to legitimacy have all run out, as has my patience. For years I held out hope that cooler heads would prevail -- now I yearn for a long, hot summer. My vote goes to whichever presidential candidate shows the most promise in sticking it to the Right, good and hard. It's all they understand. I'm done taking it and I'll bet a lot of other mostly-centrists are, too.
