It’s you, not me.
I’m sorry, but I can’t keep up this relationship anymore. It is just too much. See, it seems like no matter what I do, you still want more. Worse yet, I feel like I’m the only one working towards anything meaningful. You keep saying that you’re “too busy,” “don’t have enough power,” and that “the republicans are blocking your legislation.”Look, I’m tired of excuses.I quit, Democrats. I quit.Go fuck yourselves,

The worst part of the American political system is how rigidly defined it is. We have two parties: the Democrats and the Republicans, and though we purport to having an open political system, anything but those two options are jokes. This leaves a number of people on both sides of the political spectrum unhappy with the government. See, I’m pretty leftist. I essentially want Holland transplanted on top of America. The problem is that important issues for me, like the legalization of marijuana or equal rights for gay and lesbian people or unwavering defense of individual freedom, will never be officially supported by either of America’s two parties. So, what do you do? Choose the benign tumor over the malignant one, and hope for the best.
The problem with this system is that, at the end of the day, you still have a tumor and your ideals are no closer to fruition than if you wrote them on a napkin, sealed it in a jar with equal parts piss and gasoline, threw that jar into the ocean, and then shot at it with a high caliber rifle. This system is broken. Worse yet, many already know it and, like me, continue to participate in what amounts to slamming a door closed repeatedly against your own dick. If you’re a female reader, you may replace that last metaphor with “incessantly wailing at your vagina with a hammer.”
Despite better judgment, we participate in our dick-smushing, vagina-smashing system on the premise that one is less disagreeable, or as it is known in certain social circles: eating shit and training yourself to like it. But it still didn’t account for why I officially counted myself amongst the ranks of the Democrats. Well, as of a week ago, I am done. I am no longer a registered Democrat.
My new political designation? A member of the newly formed, independent, “Super Freedom” party.
Fuck the spineless leadership of the Democrats. Fuck them. You assholes have to work for my vote, now.
