I try very hard when discussing politics with my daughter to assure her that principle is more important than party

but that right now the GOP is so far away from what we consider important principles that our principles and the Democrats are essentially analogous.
I'm trying to raise a progressive, thoughtful person who holds principles strongly, not one that adheres to party and dogma against all common sense. I want her to be a progressive, not a little Democrat.
But the complete asshatted nature of the GOP makes that hard. Even in Illinois where the Dems have ample examples of asshattery.
