Whats the point of Obama winning re-election if dems still dont have the house

33. Unbelievable.

Here are a few reasons, and this is just the tip of the iceberg:

1. A re-elected Obama will crazy right-wing bills that will inevitably pass under a Republican Congress (if that happens)

2. A re-elected Obama can turn the Supreme Court back to the left, which will have a lasting influence on US policy for a generation.

3. A re-elected Obama will continue to be a great diplomat for the United States of America. Our standing with the rest of the world will continue to improve.

I could go on for hours. Any progressive who falls for the "Woe is me, what's the difference between Obama and Romney?" trap is falling for the same trap the GOP (with the help of Ralph Nader) set in 2000 with the "Woe is me, what's the difference between Bush and Gore?" bullshit. And the result will be equally disastrous.

Parts of the left never cease to amaze me. It's attitudes like this that have stagnated progress in this country post-LBJ. That's why we can't have nice things. It's because the bozos on the right show up in droves to vote and huge swaths of the left convince themselves that it's not even worth it and stay home.

Wanna know why you're not seeing as much progress as you might like? WE'RE NOT VOTING. Make our voices heard, and they'll listen. Sit at home and moan all day, and nothing will happen. Because you're not the ones deciding if they keep their jobs or not.

Fuck.
