    There’s this concept of a relationship escalator and everybody rightly shits on how much it fucks things up on the back end of erotic relationships.

    We’re all making friends here aren’t we.

    But seriously, the party doesn’t even respect the primary elections that I have been voting in as a registered democrat who has given many small-time donations and all of my votes over the years.

    They didn’t follow our own organizational rules, why should I trust them with my money? They already have my stinking vote.
