(222 posts)That's because we're individuals, not robots. On election day almost all of us hold our nose and vote...against the Republicans if nothing else.
Yes, I'm disappointed with Obama, but I know I would be disappointed with my perfect candidate. Compromise is essential to politics and we always focus on what we gave up rather than what we got in return.
But that said, since at least 2000 the Democratic Party has lost it's way and I'm going to scream my head off until we finally tell people that government is NOT the problem, that capitalism only works with a robust government to regulate it and level the playing field. But most of all we MUST get money out of politics, and the Democrats are the only party that can do it. I just don't see much enthusiasm from the party leadership for that.
Hope the Gin and Tonic has kicked in by now.
