Here we go again. I have an issue with this.

Blaming the average Joe because the elected officials aren't doing anything.

What would you have him do? It's not the average Joe's job to figure out what to do. It's the job of the elected politicians.

Posts of this type in my opinion are mere distractions. There really isn't anything that the average person can or should be expected to do until a game plan is laid out by the people in charge of the Democratic party. Once we have that game plan, THEN we can do something. But we need leadership first.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.

Tell me more...
