yet I sense a stirring. As to your getting active for progressive candidates: you go, sabrina1! GOTV 2014 hell yes, but not just any vote. A Warren wing one, at the very least.

But you make a very good point. I need to think about it and talk to the more informed about it. Part of your post made me think of cognitive dissonance, by the way.

on edit: the more informed is my better half - we just had a discussion about learned helplessness and conditioning.
