We need a new Democratic Party

[Drunken Irishman]

104. Then you go build the New Democratic Party.

Stop sitting on your ass and writing long-winded messages that is seen by less than a million people and do something. You know, just bitching about how awful the Democrats are on a message board isn't going to get you anywhere and then you bitch that they're not listening to you. Why aren't they listening to you? Because you're not doing anything. You're no different than the millions of Obama haters who spend every waking moment pounding at their keyboard about how Obama is Muslim and born in Kenya and they just can't comprehend how he won reelection and how he's still in power because, gosh, they've spent the last four years a whinin' away.

It gets old. It really does. You invest all this time in attacking and throwing Obama and Democrats under the bus - but what have you actually done to improve the Democratic Party? Have you run for office ... have you gone and met your congressperson and spoken with him/her about the direction of the country? Or are you content just bitching on DU because, deep down, that's all you're willing to do?

Let's be honest here - how can you expect more from your politicians when you're not doing anything yourself? You get so angry at Obama and yet, what are you doing? It's easy to rant and rave on a message board - it's a whole other thing to actually go out and change the world.

Here's a bit of advice, Manny: Do something else. Your schtick isn't going to change anything. You might get a bunch of pat on the backs here at DU, but that's the extent of it (and really, I think that's all you're looking for ... not really looking to change anything or you wouldn't spend all your time on DU looking for gratification from others). Either you really want to change ... or you really just want to complain. What is it?
