(12,240 posts)Warren up, Brown up, etc. This is not the time to get discouraged. That time has come and gone. Things suck but they will suck worse if voters do not participate and decide not to show Washington that we mean business. Every single vote is important. The right is going to go to polls to defeat Obama and only Obama. They don't give a crap about anything else....which pisses me off to no end. That is the most cynical bullshit and the voters who do that are hurting children, the elderly, their neighbors, themselves, women, men, vets...the list goes on. How can anyone hate that much or want to make a point based on something as singular as that? That alone should get the rest to vote...to support democracy...to support each other....we can then keep working towards making things right again and push for more progress. This is why it is vital that people get interested in their local politics as well. We need to keep inching things forward toward progress.
Dig deep.
