In reply to the discussion: Where's the Democratic Party's "vision for the future"?? [View all]CheapShotArtist
(333 posts)Many liberals here want to deny it, but it IS ultimately the fault of people on the Left for not showing up in droves for the midterms. I have my own reservations about Obama and the Democratic Party's agenda, but there's nobody else to choose from, and the GOP's agenda and what they've been trying to do to women, gays, low-income, and minorities should've been enough motivation alone to get to the polls. People call themselves "sending a message" by sitting out elections or voting 3rd party, but that's not going do anything except make the enemy stronger. The media doesn't give a crap if people don't vote. And the wingnuts, like you said, gets out and vote no matter what. And Rachel Maddow even said once that if you don't vote, then you are fulfilling someone else's plan.
