Dude, I've been a Progressive for over 50 years. I helped register black voters in the 60's, got tear gassed for demonstrating against the Viet Nam war, have phonebanked, spent election days driving voters to and from the polls, and gone door-to-door. So you can take your bloody name calling and put it where the sun don't shine.

Am I pissed about Citizens United? You better believe I am. Am I pissed abut the corrupt corporate whores on the Supreme Court and in Congress? Yeah, I am. Am I pissed about Obama not learning from Bill Clinton and trying to push the TPP through behond closed doors? Hell yes.

Where in my post did I say I was going to sit out this election? I didn't. But I sure as Hell despair for my country when I see the same dip shits elected over and over again and turning around and screwing over the people who voted them into office knowing that their voters are so damn dumb that the'll reelect them again just because FOX tells them to.

So, I want to vent, I'll vent and you have the gall to call me a Right Wing Troll. Sheesch.
