When are you people going to wake up and realize that it is up to the party and its leadership to bring people together by working for what they want? You can cry about how it is up to us until there is nothing left to save, let alone aspire to, and it won't make one bit of difference.

People are what they are, and they are going to do what they are going to do, and there's nothing you can say that will change that. Give them a reason to vote for us, or live with the disaster you helped to make.

The Democratic party cannot count on the republicans to keep nominating insane idiots forever. They are already talking about "Too white, too right, and too uptight", and when they come out with candidates that appear reasonable and reflective of what America is, the Democrats are going to get the shit beat out of them again, and the people that keep feeding this nonsense are going to, as usual, be absolutely shocked and surprised at the fact that they are outside looking in again.

Let me say this slowly so that you can understand; The problem is not that the people just don't get it, the problem is that the Democratic party is not offering any alternative.

The voters have voted for change in last 4 elections. If the Democrats don't deliver the change they have promised, the voters will vote for the other guys that, I guarantee you, will be promising it to them.
