60. 'Other than the Social Issues, which don't effect me and I don't care about'

Tue Jul 1, 2014, 06:39 AM

Jul 2014

Well, dunno. I guess you were in a generous mood and voted on behalf of the people such issues do affect?

But I agree with you in large part - we need Democratic candidates who WILL be different on economic and military issues. Who won't continue to spy on every American, who won't quietly use drones across the globe in undeclared wars. Who won't keep hiring on the same batch of Goldman-Sachs cronies into every major economic position.

We need Democrats who aren't afraid to actually be Democrats to attract voters like you, and most of the youth vote who likewise have no interest in voting in 2014 because most Democrats are too much like Republicans on handling the economy.
