Why Are 'Progressive' Websites Discouraging Voting?

13. They are as progressive as...

the Limbaughciles are conservative.

Within their ranks are a fair number of losers who aren't getting a voice in the established party so are finding their own frustrated, ego-driven voice. And, there are a fair number of nihilists who have just given up-- I'll admit to having those feelings far too often. There probably are a fair number of misguided idealists who just don't get that part about shitting where you eat, or forsaking the perfect for the possible.

But, what's the point of living if you just give up. Congress is up for grabs next month and while I can't affect the whole country, I can affect my district by helping campaign for my Congressman. And, there's a state Assembly candidate who's a pretty good guy I'm working for.

I'm getting over a cold and feel like shit, but this afternoon I'm knocking on doors for both of them. If I can help get Bishop re-elected and Schilero elected, it will have been worth it. If one or both loses, at least I gave it a shot. No excuses either way-- I did my part.

on edit-- a lot of them are trolls, often paid.
