118. I understand the burnout, been there, done that

But everyone remember. November elections. If you need something to remind you, just think about the results from the 2010 election and all those state and local gop idiots who got into power because not enough Democrats came out to vote. Yes, I'm mad, I want a Democratic liberal/progressive President to finally try to fix things. But we also need the same in all governorships, county and local government federal reps and senators. The stakes are too high. Sorry for preaching.
