It's what I've been saying for a while now: If you want to be happy with who you vote for, lower your expectations of what you're gonna get. It will be ugly sausage making and they will make stupid decisions that you will hate, things won't improve nearly as quickly as you want, and this is the best we can do as a species because coordinating the actions of tens or hundreds of millions of people is going to suck.

That and 40-50 year steady march of the Overton Window to the right won't be undone with a single election. It's going to take multiple ones to fix what's been broken by the Republicans.
