Great. Awesome. We lose the progressive champion, the one person doing actual work and producing good legislation, but keep the weak-spined idiot who could only do as well as passing Bob Dole's health care plan.
I'll be honest- I wanted Harry Reid to lose. He sucks at his job, and he's going to roll over for Republicans in the Senate. He's going to let the corporations fuck us over, because he's an idiot with no leadership skills.
I wanted Reid to get fired so we could pick a new majority leader, someone who could actually work on behalf of his constituency instead of curling up into the fetal position and letting the enemy roll over him and destroy my future and my quality of life. But no. We're stuck with this idiot for the next two years.
Drink with me, friends, to the death of America. The ship is sinking. We're fucked. It's not getting better. And the politicians aren't going to do jack shit to help us.
It was nice believing in the America I grew up with. She's gone now. I have no illusions left.
UPDATE 10:50 PST
Reid speaking now. Still refuses to admit that it is us versus them.
