Folks who say they quit voting because the Democratic party dared to stand up for "women and gays" needs a serious wake up call. They are going to like living under dictatorship a hell of a lot less.

I don't mean to belittle anyone's viewpoint or their beef with the party. We can get to fighting about whether we are responding to men's issues, or 20 somethings issues or whatever later. Job 1 is save America. We'll need that to get any of the rest done. The danger before us requires every American to get off their butt, put the work boots on.

The Democratic Party is all that stands in the way of dictatorship.
