I can easily undercut how important that case was.
"Hey, it's over, so let's like, you know, try and make now better instead of arguing about then."
It's not the outcome I wanted, but whatever. The system, dragged kicking and screaming, produced a President, and as the citizen over which this President now has soverignty, I look at what I can do to improve things within what I perceive as limitations with the current folks in charge. If only the Democrats did this instead of fucking bitching about everything and being a bunch of cockwads, they'd be in much better shape and could have won in 2004. Only the people in charge of the party could be so inept so as to fuck up unseating a President that had such a load of stuff against him.
Frankly, all that keeps me from saying I'm independent are Howard Dean as DNC chair, wanting to see and talk about people from "my party" winning and doing cool stuff, and that blue is a better color on a map than yellow or red.
