Live as if the World Were As It Should Be

For once in my whole fucking life, I would like to have a conversation with a Republican that does not contain the phrase "you know what the problem with you liberals is?". Well, since we're all the same, and stupid, I'm sure you'd be glad to tell me. I'm trying really hard to believe that somehow people would stop yelling at each other long enough to realize that we are not getting anywhere. I really hate everything about this election - the way it has divided our country and made us stupid. There's really no point in any of it anymore - everybody's ideals have been compromised. What's the point? Why should I ever care about politics ever again, when nobody will ever compromise?

Christ, I can't even come up with a coherent thing to say - this is so depressing.
