Not young. I get your point, but I think you understand mine. There's a huge difference between not fulfilling campaign promises and totally voting opposite the party you were elected under. So I toss it back...do you think this is fine or okay, or even typical, and we should just shrug it off?
I think it's typical, yeah. I don't think it's fine. I have no expectation of things ever being fine in government so I'm hardly surprised.
I also think it's less egregious (so far) than, for example, Obama running on "hope and change" then renewing or expanding all of Bush's worst excesses, the things we hoped he would change.
Tell us what you would accept from the choices available.
I've accepted there isn't fuck-all I can do about it if that's what you mean
