Big shout out to independents, conservative Democrats and people who seldom vote!!! [View all]

While liberal and progressive Democrats sat at home in 2010, whining about how Obama had disappointed them, Reagan Democrats and independents and people who voted for the first time in 2008 but don't really care about politics all turned out in huge numbers to elect Democrats.

It wasn't enough—nothing can overcome the perfidy of liberals so we got hammered in 2010 anyway—but at least they tried.

Does any of that preceding scenario sound accurate? Or even plausible?

Since it is obviously a fucking lie, perhaps folks should stop fucking saying it.

Lying is not cute in the best of cases. Lying for the purpose of sowing division is a grotesque character defect.
