(7,393 posts)Then you say "Don't call me a "ratfucker." Don't tell me I'm depressing turnout; if you want to find me tomorrow afternoon, look for the guy with the ponytail and beard holding a sign on Main Street, and that's after I vote."
So, don't call you on the BS you write, is that what you're saying?
Here is the REAL DEAL, okay? You can elect all the principled leaders you can find (We ALL will, I am sure), but they can't do shit without the majority. This is not a difficult concept to understand. It's a reality of the type of two party political system we have. You can imagine and wish for a different one, but I thought liberals were reality based.
So while you may be paid to be a "ratfucker" or depress turnout, please don't congratulate yourself about it, or pretend it is anything other than what it is.
