7. It's not meant as a disparagement. It's a sad sack reality.

We're in the vast minority and it forces us to curtail -- unconsciously or not -- our activist impulses. We self-censor.

I spent 8 years in Miami before I moved back home a couple years ago. Florida Dems are a lot like Wyoming Dems... beaten down by long, long, long years in the minority. We're beaten down by accepting defeat after defeat.

I've lived in a lot of states in the US. Wyoming Dems are polite. Very.

They'll even scold impolite fellow Dems.

I am not a polite Dem. And I grew up here. One of my sons was born in town. The other less than 60 miles away. I can name the plants at some Missouri goat-roper's feet while he's gawking for his fucking elk.

Spine is what Wyoming Democrats need.

Fucking spine.
