SCOTUS wants to know if you will Get Out The Vote in 2014 & 2016? Or roll over and lose?

Because they will just keep on taking away the rights of citizens and give them to corporations if you're cool with it.

They think you don't care.

They think you will let a Republican get elected in 2016 so they can pack the Supreme Court even more.

They want to fuck you over.

The question is: What the fuck are YOU going to do about it?

Whine and complain after your candidate loses the primary and divide the party so we have no chance?

Or come together, no matter who wins the primary, and kick GOP ass?

It is on us to lead this party to victory.

I'm a Democrat. I've never skipped Election Day because I didn't like/agree with our party's nominee

I'm a Democrat.
It's why I'm at DU, not RU.
I know my vote counts.
Everyone's does.
My friend Hanging Chad proves it.
I've never voted for a Republican.
I think staying home on Election Day and whining, with your diaper in a bunch, hoping your party will lose, is just like voting for a Republican.
I don't care if you're talking about Hillary, Warren, Biden or anyone.
We have primaries.
We make a group decision.

You can stay home because you don't get your way, but then you weren't really playing fair with the rest of the group were you?
If you're only going to do something if the group does it your way,
then you're just trying to use the group for your own agenda aren't you?
You are not an honest participant in the party (even though you think you are "being frank&quot nor a leader for the group, just yourself.
So you should join the Selfish Party.
That's the party that reflects your values.
The problem is they never get to win because everyone votes for themselves.

But now, because of you and your trumpeting of your voting boycott, the rest of us have to work harder to GOTV and replace your selfish ass, and anyone else you infected, at the polls.
So thanks for your opinion about a candidate and the Party bashing, but why don't you go crawl under a rock for two and a half years and STFU while the rest of us try to win a couple of elections in 2014 and 16?
If you stay home on Election Day you get what you deserve but the rest of us don't.

Thank you Bowe Bergdahl! The service you have provided me is invaluable.

The attacks on Bowe Bergdahl are showcasing some real fucked-up thinking in some members at DU.
Now because they have revealed themselves, I get to put them on ignore.
I've "ignored" more members in the last two days than I have done total in my time here.
So if you called him a traitor or deserter or said we should not have traded to get him back, etc. I will not miss you or your opinion.

Bowe Bergdahl, making DU a better place for me one click at a time.
Thank you for your service Bowe.

About ZonkerHarris

Nixon was a fucking crook. As a teenager I marched on the UN in 1982 with a million other people demanding we get rid of the threat of nuclear weapons hanging over our heads. Since then I've worked to get Democrats elected like John Aristotle Phillips, known as the A-Bomb Kid when he ran for Congress against Stuart McKinney in CT in the 80's (we lost twice) through the Obama campaign in 2008 and 2012. I want to legalize cannabis, reform our prison for profit system, cut our military budget, get out of Afghanistan and push solar energy panels into every building in the USA.
