I don’t believe in “political cowardice” — no matter what they claim or what you want to believe about them, politicians are doing what they want to do. They’re not afraid to do the right thing, they’re assholes.

C'mon, maura. Just between you and me, they're not assholes if they're doing what they want. They're only assholes if they are not doing want we want. I think we are going to have to get used to four years of pretty deep assholeism.
Whenever someone claims cowardice when the decision the politician makes end up making that politician richer I can't help but believe there's a deep level of propaganda at work for them to understand that decision as cowardice.
Politicians are amoral for the most part - every decision is weighed in the light of what is best for them. The 'right thing' for the average politician is 'the right thing for me'.
100%. Hard to understand why people insist the Dems are uniquely bad at politics instead of demanding Dem leadership be replaced by people who need and will seek structural change.
I know there R good ones in there, but they R the minority.
I can't help but feel there is a system of both sides playing the middle.
