129. COMPROMISE.

Yeah. That's great thinking there.

Just in case it might've slipped your mind, Democrats still didn't win the House. You know? The chamber of Congress where all *legislation originates?

When so-called Democrats (Purists disguised as Democrats, that is) threaten that if they don't get their unicorn this time around, 2010 will be nothing compared to the "massacre" they're threatening in 2014. That's so incredibly dumb because that's shooting yourself in your foot; delivering power BACK to the Republicans who are hellbent on doing exactly what they claim they're afraid of.

At least that particular Purist admits that s/he was part of the reason why Republicans swept the country, taking legislatures, governorships, the House and more seats in the Senate. That purist was part of the reason why in the last election, Blacks were disenfranchised, minorities had to wait hours on end in line in the cold just to cast their vote; why Republicans were able to pass SB1070 laws; why Republican AGs were able to waste money on lawsuits trying to repeal Obamacare, and why egregious and racist voter ID laws became laws. After all that was done to minorities, this purist then has the unmitigated GALL to threaten more of the same shit if s/he doesn't get her/his way. How fucking selfish.

They're not Democrats. They're at best fair-weather Democratic Party voters, but in truth they're wide-eyed Purists who would have rather voted for the likes of Jill Stein or Dennis Kucinich or Nader (but know they won't get anywhere with those candidates) because these people are more in line with their vision for America, and screw anyone and everyone who doesn't agree with them.

Remember that when the Democratic Party gave their ultra-liberal base all the attention back when Mondale ran, the Democratic Party was wiped off the face of the map and we got Reagan. Sorry to burst your bubble, but America isn't aligned with the liberal agenda.

Just as a reminder . . . most minorities, the very people who pushed President Obama and Democrats over the line to victory this last election, are pretty conservative socially and economically, but at least they understand that the president can only do so much without congress, and that's why we came out in droves and supported him.
