It's as simple as that. We need a wave election in November to send a message to these asshats. Anything less than that, and the message they get is that "they are winning"
We can't wait for the "demographics" to catch to them, as they eventually will...young people, minorities, union folks, folks that want to raise the minimum wage, folks that want to protect individual rights, women's rights, civil rights and wish to promote sanity in governing need to treat mid-term elections with the same intensity and passion that they treat the Presidential election years
It just pisses me the fuck off...so much that I can't see straight...that we elected a great man as President, and then rewarded him with the asshattery we have in the House and in a majority of the Statehouses.
We could have gotten some great stuff done, but instead, we turned the reigns of power over to flaming racist assholes and corporate pricks...and then bitch about how nothing we want to see get done, can get done.
The minute the 2008 electorate decided to sit on their hands in 2010, is the moment serious possibiities, like doing something about climate change, helping the working poor, fixing our infrastructure, protecting voting and women's rights, and a whole host of others...FUCKING DIED!
We know how to change the government. Get the fuck out and do it!
