Day in the Life of an Idiot

As I wrote on FB in the replies, People who stand by their word are boring, and I like boring people. I am angry that there is systemic corruption, to say that my anger is just trendy belittles some very justifiable rage.

I didn't support the mercenary contractor's war in Afghanistan, or Private health insurance as enshrined by government under GW Bush either. I supported the Employee Free Choice Act, I gave money to Obama because he said that he supported it too. That political position of Democratic Party changed in a hurry once the Democrats came to power.

I haven't changed my political position. They did LIE about what they were supporting, and I therefore regret ever supporting the lot of them. I was wrong and it's going to take me a minute to lick my wounds.

I feel betrayed, and justifiably so. I think this mass disillusionment is part of the process towards getting back on track to fighting whatever the good fight might be. Continuing to oppose the war, continuing to want universal health care, continuing to oppose the privatization of the whole world is the opposite of saying "Oh well, that sucks."

Saying that we shouldn't give up on someone who has betrayed many of the things that he campaigned on is more like what I think of as acquiescence.

If there's a "fighting the good fight" kiosk, please sign me up, otherwise I'm going to have to figure this out on my own.
