Common Dreams: "Maybe we should sit this election out."

139. I agree with everything you just said, B&R. As for Cuomo, I could not agree more. He is FOR

fracking eg, although he has gone silent on that for the election season. 'Vampire Corporations', yes. I am upstate NY in farming country. NO ONE is happy with politics here, Left, Right, Independent.

To keep on doing the same thing, we hear the same talking points every election, 'the other guys are worse' now, IS insanity.

First thing that needs to happen and it began in a way in 2010, although the Third Wayers refused to admit it, when voters refused to vote for the Blue Dogs. The Dem Leadership were angry. They think we are stupid, they forgot that THEY used the Blue Dogs as their excuse for NOT getting Progressive legislation, the PO eg. It was always 'but what could have been done, the Blue Dogs are responsible'. So, the voters agreed and threw most of them out. The Third Way BLAMED the voters.

Good post, probably too true for some around here who have the gall to attack VOTERS when the problem is the Leadership which has been pouring money into the Third Way/Blue Dog candidates even though they LOSE rather than support actual Dem candidates. They need to win back your vote, but that isn't how they will view it. They will attack you and blame you and never, ever take responsibility for losing those votes.
