Why is it you feel the need to do this:
"If you do not think that there are reasons to vote for Obama, any reason at all, you are a privileged piece of shit and you don't fucking deserve the wall that the Democrats have put up to prevent the collapse that a Republican (or Libertarian) government would assure. I despise you. I deplore you. You are the epitome of what is wrong with this country. People who cannot understand political realities, and people realities, that they have to live through every fucking day. All because your pathetic single issue is more important to you than your fellow citizens. You are trash. Nothing. A vile human pile of excrement."
Really? A piece of shit? Vile human excrement?
It's this attitude that stops me from checking the Democratic box on my voter registration. I really don't want to be associated with Republican style "you are a piece of shit if you disagree with me" attitude.
I remain independent. I voted for Obama but only because I live in a swing state and know what is at stake. But had I been in a firmly Blue state I would have voted for an actual liberal.
