I’ve been on here for ages. I’ve tried multiple new “twitters” and just haven’t stuck it out, anywhere. But I think I’m done. I just don’t want to see the blue bird icon become some x marks the spot bullshit. It’s super weird that this is the thing. But here I am.

Democrats are trying to fix a mess Republicans created.
