Trump has apparently talked about creating a new party which would obviously take votes from the Republicans. I said this would be the perfect opportunity for the Left (whoever that is) to actually do something and create their own party worth something. They said they would rather the Democrats just go unchallenged than risk splitting the vote. It's literally driving me insane and honestly disgusting how wedded people are this cult of liberal nihilism.

My roommate said that without the threat of the Republicans, the Democrats would be able to enact "real change, even if it's not as far as you want". Real sicko shit. I know I'm ranting but something has to give here. Like how much more do you need to see that these people are not your friends??

      I think this is it. We just simply don't have the same foundations. We also pay more attention to the actual suffering in the world rather than Jake Tapper being epic on CNN or whatever which is why we always just get shot down as miserable cynics (at least in my case). It just feels like running in water.
