169. Why is "who you want" in quotes in your reply?

Are you talking to someone else? Someone who cares what you think maybe?

I've never sat out an election in my too-long life, and have always been a Democrat. And fyi in 2008 I contributed to, phone-banked for, canvassed for, was a state convention delegate for, poll-watched, and voted for Obama. Voted for him in 2012 too, although it was more like voting against rMoney.

2 effing million people, of which I was one, came to Obama's first inauguration. Do you think that if they got something even remotely like what they hoped for, 2010 would have been the debacle it was? Do you think if Obama had mobilized that enthusiasm, and the grass-roots network he built instead of disregarding them (Thanks for all the hard work, guys! I'll take it from here!) that would have made a big difference? Do you think that if he had not been content with nudging the ship of state 2 degrees off its current course, when what we really needed (if even he couldn't get it done!) was a major correction; not been content with a lame-ass Democratic Party (We're not as crazy as those guys!) (Hello DWS!), had been willing to....oh fuck it. Some people aren't worth trying to educate.

I think you got lost and ended up on the wrong board. Ciao, baby.
