There is no meritocracy: It’s just the 1 percent, and the game is rigged

47. And constantly complaining about it is getting us where?

It's 2014. Mid-terms are coming. There have been countless treads on here complaining about Obama. Enough! In this election year we kinda need to concentrate on getting real, blue dems (not blue dog dems) elected and not continually rehash what the President didn't get done.

If you call that "looking forward" so be it, but there is an extremely important election THIS YEAR that we should put work in on — maybe pick up some seats in the House, hope to hell we work hard enough so we don't LOSE THE SENATE, for God's sake. As they say, elections have consequences, and a back turnout in 2014 can have devastating consequences in 2016 if we don't GOTV.

In 2010 (Harry Reed over "Second Amendment Remedy" Sharon Angle) and 2012, I worked to get dems elected nationally and in my state. I don't want to see a repeat of 2010 where many Obama complainers sat out the election and the repug obstructionist strengthened their hold on the House.

Where do these constant Obama complaint threads get us? IMO they just might, with the periodic repetition of them, influence others to sit out the mid-terms.

Maybe that's even the reason for them.

I myself don't have time for them.
