32. Not a good time in history to throw your vote away, Senator.

It says clearly that you no longer desire a democracy.
If the nation survives despite your vote, your legacy will be in the toilet. If it doesn’t, we will no longer have history books, so legacy won’t matter.

I’m still amazed at what has happened to Congress. I guess I always assumed that they all had at least some knowledge of how our nation was formed and how much it requires true patriots to lead. I guess I didn’t factor in power and money on the other end of the scales.

I think the forefathers did. That’s probably why they all were somewhat skeptical about the outcome.
