Do you want to start a civil war? That's what you want, isn't it: civil war.

I think it’s vastly more important that he’s not a daring choice and is personally not flashy and exciting. But, then again I’m hilariously immature, more interested in acting above it all, in how my political opinions make others think of me (cool! progressive!), and in writing sarcastic and dismissive things on the…
