171. we need to have his back people
the bad guys are still the same people. if he hasn't lived up to your expectations (so far! 2yrs to undo 30 yrs of Reaganism and decades of Faux News propaganda??? get real!), bottom line, its their fault, not his. even if he is at fault in some way or other.

in other words, we need to have his back. or kick his backside if need be, but tearing down our own leaders, (whoever they may be) with hyperbolic accusations of of "betrayal" and "sellout", and failing to vote, and get out the vote, serves us not at all.

we know who the enemy is. and its not Barack Obama or even the Democrats.

so until we have a 3rd party with majority numbers, pulling the D lever is all we got.

and keeping the pressure on once they're elected to pursue a progressive agenda, and to not cave in, also includes letting them know we'll back them up when they face incredible pressure (and threats) from the powers that be.
