52. There will never be a world in which a political party cannot improve.

So, do you advocate constantly criticizing the whole party for positions that only a few may take? Why would you not name specific individuals that are causing the problems rather than smearing our party as a whole when most of us -- including our elected leaders -- agree with Pritzker on just about every-damn-thing? Do you think that's productive? You think that will somehow motivate people to the polls rather than helping CREATE the voter apathy you are upset with?
