A friend, in a effort to get me to return to the local WaCo chapter of the Dems, described me as "a strong intellectual and a voice of reason". The party has recently been roiled by drama, drama, drama (no blackface involved). I get enough of this on TRANSIT and don't need this amount of dysfunction further demonstrated by the party I reluctantly travel with. ( The local party reflects the NATIONAL party split and has its old-guard Dems and its progressive members. It even has those who have jokingly started calling themselves the official WaCoResistance or ALTWaCo. Guess which ones I run with?)
Trying to get democrats to work together is often like hearing cats. When they try to get something done they all agree on it is like a crazy cat lady trying to give food to her 75 cats, they all crowd her, get in the way and greatly slow down the feeding process even though they all want her to feed them quickly.
