Why are people not marching in the streets?

I think there was some complacency in 2010 that allowed the Tea Partiers to overwhelm the vote...they were more motivated (by anger, bigotry and hatred) than we were.

But the consequences of that 2010 election gave us the Republican-controlled house of representatives, the prospect of a Republican majority in the house for the next decade and some of the biggest crackpots, morons and grifters I've ever seen. Those alone should be enough to motivate our side to PAY ATTENTION to mid-term elections and exert the same amount of commitment and energy to them as we did to '08 and'12.

We've learned that because the only thing these yahoos in the House fear is being PRIMARy-ED and not fearing any challenger from the left-side of the spectrum, they are almost impervious to letters, telephone calls, emails, or masses of people in the streets. They are only afraid of the primary election ballot box...

There are a couple of strategies that our side can deploy to counter-act this....I'll expound on those only if somebody is actually interested in hearing/debating them.
