This shit SUUUUUUUUUCKS. If you yell that you're going to throw a victimized minority under the bus, no one will run to you faster than establishment Dems.

Thinking about this with such a philosophical lens reinforces my opinion that we’re foolish to try and anthropomorphize something that will likely never become “human” as we understand it.

When people actually run in primaries (looking at you nonexistent Schumer and Gillibrand opponents), and people vote in them, we win.
