    People focus obsessively on the presidency for zero reason. Many don’t even vote in non presidential elections. Effectively squandering their vote.

    The presidency is a symptom of the larger party. We’ll never change the presidency until we change the underlying party. Because let’s be clear. The House and Senate could be pushing back against the president for what he’s doing if they wanted to. They don’t. And that’s the larger problem.

    We can have a much bigger impact on House and Senate elections than we will ever have on the presidency or the presidency will ever have on us. I wouldn’t give a flying fuck who was president as long as the house senate Etc was in order. They’d keep him in line.
