In reply to the discussion: Obama's approval rating among liberal dems reaches a 2014 high of 85% [View all]Sarah Ibarruri
(21,043 posts)I don't get it.
Let's see...
1) We know that we have a system in place in the U.S., and it's a pretty shitty system which needs a lot of changes (for ex, lobbying changes, changes to a tax system beneficial to the rich, etc.), within which it is very difficult to accomplish much for the middle and working classes
2) We know there's been a right wing fad, wave, trend, infection, infestation, call it whatever you like, for the past decades, since Ronald Reagan. In fact, even some Democrats became Reagan Democrats. Revolting. It has caused damage from that point till now, and we still have the same right wing assholes in office pushing to keep the trend or fad or whatever it's called.
3) RWers have made life a living hell for Obama. Whether he's socialist left, center left, or right wing left, anything the man has attempted to do has been met with resistance and the Limbaughs and his minions of brainless zombies have labeled him a Communist and worse.
4) We have fewer election alternatives than most advanced countries do. THIS ISN'T EUROPE. We have LESS to work with.
And then I read these posts. Sheesh.
SOME libs think the SAME way RWers do - that it's all Obama's fault, Obama this, Obama, that, Obama the other. That somehow he could've pulled a magic wand out from between his legs and fought off all those RW assholes, and turned absolutely everything around, corrected the damage done by RWers, changed the laws, changed the system, changed the f*d up rightwing opinions of the country, everything! Are they CRAZY? Do they expect MAGIC? And lastly, why don't THEY get out there and do something to change the system instead of whining and whining like babies who want their diapers changed?
Sorry, these reactions just made me really angry.
