In reply to the discussion: I'd prefer to see Elizabeth Warren as our next president. But if Hillary Clinton [View all]Cal33

We've still got three years, that's a long time for many still unforeseen events to
take place --I hope.
In the meantime, let's look at one or two of the glaring weaknesses of the Democratic
Party: Electronic voting machines (especially those by Diebold) have been used since
2000, I believe, and they are still used in too many states today in 2013. Voter
suppression practiced by the GOP in so many ways: gerrymandering, deliberately
telling voters to go to the wrong voting addresses, ...etc... ad infinitum.
Democrats occasionally put up a weak squawk, but that's about all. How many of
these voter crimes have ever been brought to court? And how many of those criminals
have ever been jailed? You can count them on your fingers. And yet, the above has
been carried out by the thousands over the years -- nationwide.
Just imagine if the reverse had been true. The GOP wouldn't have put up with such
nonsense and for so many years. Thousands of Democratic fraud practitioners would
have been jailed!
The fault, dear Brutus, lies within ourselves. Too many Democrats are simply too
lackadaisical -- they just don't give a shit!
Nov. 2014 is less than a year away. Let's try to wake up these lackadaisical Democrats.
Let them know that if they don't give a shit about correcting these wrongs, more shit is
what they'll get !! And squawking after the shit has hit the fan is usually too late.
