    What’s important about this is not that the public knows about it, but that someone from the party actually said the quiet part allowed.

    We should be cheering for this person speaking out against not only a government party, but a party they themselves were in.

    Here’s to a more brave and intelligent America.

      I mean, yeah you’re absolutely right, but until he comes right out in the open and says “Vote for Democrats instead”, it’s all just a fucking shell game. The difference in moral fortitude required to say, “hey guys this is some messed up shit” versus “I’m leaving the room until you clean your mess up” is HUGE. He doesn’t have to switch parties, but as long as he sits at their table and votes in lockstep with every stupid partisan game they play, he doesn’t get my gratitude.
