Thank you. I do not know if I agree that the Republicans are the worse evil (I know plenty of upstanding Republicans, and I know of plenty of good Republican politicians (albeit mostly on a state level)), but this general apathy that has already reared its head after only a dozen posts is simply not the way to go. Giving up or not even trying is far worse than failing.
