33. Ask not what your party can do for you, but rather what you can do for your party

Look, I don't know what all the facts are. Ed has certainly made some noise on the subject, I don't know if he has all the facts or not.

But hell, what have YOU (you being everyone) done to help. My wife always used to bitch about the government but never used to take the time to vote - I plugged my ears and refused to listen to her until she made it a habit to vote. I feel the same about this argument, at a minimum EVERYONE needs to at least donate a few dollars at ACTBLUE, especially if you're going to be on here griping about what the DNC has or hasn't done in Wisconsin.
