"Vote for Hillary or else!"

I do not think 2010 was all that you describe.

Although some Democrats were discouraged, I think it had more to do with Republicans being fired up.

Another thing was that the President and the Democrats main accomplishment from 2008-10 was Obamacare, a big gooey mess plopped down on the American voters' plate to a main response of "bleah, what is in this? I don't want to eat it"

In a speech at a DFA training session, Howard Dean said that failing to pass something would be disastrous like in 1994, and that was my assessment too. But it also seemed like passing something was disastrous as well.

I thought my own message would sell with the voters, it was, simply enough.

1. We are in a Republican recession - a huge one that began in 2008 when Bush was still President
2. The Republicans in Congress are not representing the bottom 80%, they are representing the top 5%.
3. Reaganomics, an experiment begun in 1981, has failed. As evidenced by these three graphs, one of them a prediction of a dystopian future if we stay on the path the Republican politicians want us to go down. http://www.koch2congress.com/5.html

As it turned out though, I could not even sell this message to Democratic voters - I lost the primary.
