In reply to the discussion: Nate Silver: Senate may tip for GOP in 2014 [View all]MADem
(135,425 posts)10. You need to really work on those reading skills, there, skippy.
You try reading it again--I'm not heaping all the blame on the untoned shoulders of the professional complainers hunched over their keyboards here (and you'd see that if you read what I wrote before you snarked, but you just couldn't help yourself)--I'm simply saying they SHARE the blame.
OK, slowly now--I've even bolded the key word for you:
And if that happens, "WE"--and by "WE" I also mean the people who spend their days here saying how
shitty everything related to the Democratic Party is--will be the ones to blame.
Talk about having something to REALLY cry about....

Talk about having something to REALLY cry about....
I bring dozens of people to the polls for EVERY election. Local, state, national--makes no matter to me. If the polls are open, I'm all over the place, getting people to 'em. That's how I do my bit.
If everyone "did their bit" instead of having your lousy attitude, it would help. All of us--not just the ones who get off their asses and work to get Dems elected, but people like me who drive, who do a little precinct walking, who will even smile and dial on occasion, as well as the professional "sky is falling" whiners who never met a Democrat they seem to like, yet spend all day on this Democratic board--if ALL OF US worked, for a change, to deliver a midterm victory, maybe we'll get one. We need everyone working in all fifty states--all elections.
I guess we don't need to count on YOU, though!
You've got that lackadaisical thing DOWN, bro! We've got ourselves a professional cynic, here! Who reads too fast to grasp the point being made!
How "kewl" is that...?

I find it curious that you fancy yourself the gatekeeper of where people "need" to go on DU.

Do the politicians who go back on promises and the Democratic platform share none of the blame?

So you can "cry to me" that it's the fault of those who complain about these politicians...

There is only ONE problem here, in the short term--and that is 2014, the OP topic.

I wasn't asking your permission, I was responding to your post denouncing complainers.

I have the same feeling. Those who relentlessly denigrate the only viable opposition to total GOP

Do you ever wonder why people think that throwing insults at you will cause you to overlook events?

As long as "Democrats" embrace negativity and don't GOTV, they are certain to lose.

Isn't there some shot at North Carolina since the Gop crackdown seems to be backfiring?

The Tea Party nutjob wing of the GOP will likely save us again. All it will take...

Silver is saying at this time (summer 2013) the GOP has a 50/50 chance to win the Senate.
