Krugman's Harshest Post Yet

[SunSeeker]

68. By not voting (and trashing Obama) you are serving the Repukes--and your own destruction.

Of course no politician is going to be everything you want them to be. But it is simply self-destructive and wrong for any progressive to claim Obama and Romney are the same. The issue of Supreme Court appointments alone should get you to a voting booth in November.

I may be wasting my time with you if you're just a troll. Certainly there are hints you are, such as the terms you use, like "I voted Democrat" rather than "I voted Democratic" (do you call it the "Democrat Party" like Rush does?) and the ridiculous suggestion that Dems are "a polite annex to the Republican party at this point in history." But if you truly are just disillusioned, you will be even more so if Romney becomes President. And he will if the left stays home.

If you want to pull the Democratic Party to the left, get involved in it. The right wing did that with the Republican party. Just shooting barbs from the sidelines doesn't fix anything, it just helps the other side.
