    I long for the days when I thought government was boring and not worth my time. I know too much now too go all the way back, but it’s refreshing to have someone just quietly running the nation without starting a shitstorm every time their ego gets a little bit bruised.

      It was always worth your time. The whole boomer mentality of not talking about politics is how we got into this mess.

      But I’m glad you’re with us now. The sane need all the help we can get.

        The whole boomer mentality of not talking about politics is how we got into this mess.

        It’s part of it, but the bigger problem is that 99% of voters are content to just vote for their team color no matter how their legislator votes.

        There isn’t enough real accountability, and therefore, no impetus for meaningful change.

        I totally agree, I was just a dumb kid at the time

          I didn’t vote in Bush v Gore. I remember asking a friend because I didn’t know the difference anyway.
