In reply to the discussion: What is Bad About Obama [View all]Proud Liberal Dem
(24,940 posts)but, of course, they could always be worse. If people spent half the energy trying to get ultra-progressives elected to state, local, and federal government as they do constantly tearing down members of the party that embodies most of the left-wing agenda and spends as much time as possible (when it's not kneecapped) trying to solve programs and implement saner policies than the Republicans, then we might be further along than we are now. Obama ain't perfect but hit-posts like these really aren't helpful either IMHO. I mean, what is the productive value of posts like these? We already know that some people think that "Obama sucks" and that they won't like him no matter what he says or does, so, really, tell us something we don't know. You don't like the guy? Fine. Don't vote for him but is there a need to campaign AGAINST him- HERE of all places? I mean, unless you really want the Republicans to win and, frankly, if you do, you shouldn't even be here.
