(Can I Say Fucking?)

I'm pretty much ready to write-off the sanctimonious crap that others dish out as well. Whether they truly believe it, or if it's just a juvenile attempt at trying to make a point and to get some attention and sympathy---I don't know.

They already know how the numbers work. They've already seen that it benefits the antithesis of everything they hold dear. They've already seen that it makes very little REAL difference within the party itself. Rather than participating, they are footnoting themselves and isolating themselves. Pretty ineffectual way to accomplish anything important. Being perceived as being a spoiled outsider on the fringe does not do much to advance their goals.

It's pretty a pretty selfish attitude one takes when they get more glee out of being "right" and having "principles" when they are ultimately impotent to do anything meaningful in the political arena.
