How “Fuck Your Feelings” Fucks The Red States Again And Again

I’m not a Democrat. Nor am I a Republican.

I’m not blue — or red.

I’m also not a liberal or a conservative. I avoid labels such as these because I don’t want them polluting my sense of logic and reason — consciously or otherwise.

Using them to describe yourself (or to vote) is fine; it’s a personal decision. I prefer to remain open to voting for someone other than the candidate representing my party — something two-thirds of Americans will never do in their lifetimes.
