So I was out on a date tonight with someone I just met. Living in DC its hard to avoid the subject of politics. I happened to mention how much I hate the political wrangling. This is a risky thing in DC, as at least half of the people in the area have a career in politics. Alas, I have my opinion and I'm sticking to it. So I mention to this female how I'm an "anyone but Hillary" person. And she mentions her freakin' aunt is Maggie Williams! Hillary's new campaign manager! Well I thought the date was pretty much over then. Cuz we were arguing about the two party system as well. She was all for the two party system. She said we couldn't handle more then two, and accused me of being unamerican for not supporting one of them. Talk about the relationship being over. I'm so frustrated with the two main political parties its not even funny and I was about to walk out right there. The only thing that kept me seated was the dumbfounded state she put me in with this opinion of hers. I couldn't believe she was actually serious.
Well we ended up having a good time cuz she actually does have a sorta decent head on her shoulders outside of politics. She is young but has done a lot of traveling, started a non-profit along side her normal career, and has some decent ambitions. Oh how good it is to be young and dumb. Being a former semi-pro surfer doesn't hurt either.
It will be fun to argue with her about Hillary and the two party system. Arguing is always fun. Cuz I'm always right of course.
