(80 posts)Nor did I indicate as much. I have just raised some valued concerns as to why some would feel the way that they do. You cannot, in good conscience, say that this POTUS has not made mistakes, nor used bad judgment at times.
This in no way makes him a POS, used car salesman, or any other derogatory term, it makes him human. He has not been perfect as some would want us to believe. There are a lot of good Democrats who feel the same way as I do, and that is why the level of enthusiasm for our party has declined over the past 6 years.
Do I vote? Yes, at every opportunity. And I vote Democratic, at every opportunity. And yes, I will continue to do so, even though some of the candidates are less than perfect.
Politics has turned sour, They are rotten to the core. The treatment of Bill Clinton demanded the prosecution of the previous administration by Obama. He may as well have spit in the Clinton's faces. Having to listen to the constant bemoaning of Jimmy Carter as the worst president ever will never end. As Democrats, it is high time that we grow a spine and fight back. Turning the other cheek has only moved our party further to the right than it has ever been. We need Bernie Sanders. We need Elizabeth Warren. These are the types of Democrats that we need to LEAD this great nation. 6 years in control of the White House and 8 years in control of the Senate. We haven't even been able to undo the crap that put this nation in the crapper. No bankers in jail. No politicians in jail. No insurance company crooks in jail. Yes, we have a healthcare INSURANCE plan, but no HEALTHCARE plan. By and large, the past 6 years have been wasted. The next 2 are imperative to the legacy of this president. Let us all GOTV and secure the Senate, take back the House, and allow this president to enact some truly Democratic ideals to secure his legacy.
