(4,458 posts)deep enough pockets to be invited-I've attended local Dem Meets, tried to get an email/phone response from my states party hq's---no such response.
It's not that I have a particular candidate/person in mind-I don't. But rather, I'd like the powers at be to include the rest of us with-out Deep Pockets, a bit more.....I want to have a strong candidate that isn't a recycled politician.
Do I know what the answers are? Hell, no-I surly wouldn't be here if I did..but I represent a deeper and growing problem of discontent with-in the base... Even those who stayed home in 2010 wasn't a wake up call for the Dem party.
I have a fear that the numbers of voters who stayed home in 2010 will be eclipsed in 2014 and maybe 2016 if things don't change soon.
Gotta find a creative way to break that cycle of having no choice but settling for the least worse....
