You are so frigging superior.

Too bad people that you find so far beneath part of the Democratic Party (and in my case have zero tendency to leave).

If not for the boomer generation of Democratic leadership starting in the 1990, the nation would not be in the mess it is today.

That said I have been a member of the Democratic Party since I could vote and with the exception of a tactical vote for John Anderson in the 1980 GOP POTUS primary in California, have never voted for anyone not a Democrat and I vote.

I was in Berkeley and politically active when Milk and Moscone came to office and were assassinated by Dan White. I was at the street vigil in San Francisco after the murders. You have no right to judge others not knowing their own walk and history.

I am quite impressed with Schiff.
