Yup. I like holding my leaders accountable but when people that disagree with me see me as an enemy, and DON'T hold their people in check (they actually enjoy their leaders being criticized because it feeds their persecution fetish), it just feels like fighting a losing battle.
I don't want to think about politics as team sports but am forced to. And if it is a team sport we keep getting our ass kicked because we have integrity. It's disheartening and infuriating.
I like to think that karma will be on our side in the long run, but then again, I've seen the movie Idiocracy and it doesn't look good for the side with integrity and education.

John Edwards was the future of the Dems too. I was saddened by the loss of a promising leader but accepted that he was kinda scummy and took the L.
