Don't Depress me Bro [View all]

Look, I come here to be uplifted and inspired, is there anyone who can give me that ?

If I wanted to be depressed, I could go a lot of other places.

Now I realize this site can't make me feel the way I felt in 2008 when Obama was elected everday, but I damn sure don't want to feel like I felt in 2004 when Bushit was reelected.

If you don't have anything good to say about the liberal cause and the liberal prospects, then live with your misery without spreading it.

PLEASE
