281. "I'm not disputing that Rand Paul isn't a douche-bag at times"
In response to In response to 254


          

he is.

But he's also more in line w/ progressives than they'd like to admit - and in
terms of progressive politics (thwarting the military industrial complex, strengthening
civil liberties, addressing the drug on war and disproportionate criminalization/imprisonment
of black men, not allowing government to tell people who they should marry or what they can/can't smoke) - he's your guy.

so yea - he's a douche, but he happens to be a more progressive douche than the person you voted for.
