From LawDork and Neo Tokyo Times, commentary on Democrats being jackasses.

I’m trying to keep this site from being too political, but this pisses me off to no end. I consider myself a Democrat, even though my political preferences are sometimes at odds with the party’s platform, because… well, Neo Tokyo times says it better than I can:

And that, I think, is the meaning of progressive. It’s not a collection of ideas and political positions. It’s not a list. It’s a mindset. It’s a willingness and eagerness to expand yourself, and your conceptions of what’s right. It’s a movement toward a better system, and a better way of living, and a better understanding of yourself and your society.

I can make concessions on some policy issues because the Democrats and I are working towards the same general goal. But I can’t justify things like this. I don’t want a party that will put aside their ideals for political gain (not that I think this will help at all). I refuse to put up with that much cognitive dissonance. Jackasses.
