(8,175 posts)I hope Dems can pull it together and really do a huge voter drive for the 2014 elections. I sure haven't heard anyone talking about it yet, and it's too damn close already. I see a lot of threads wasting time on silly, petty and/or hateful stuff aimed at republicans, that is nothing more that knee-jerk bashing, and isn't really doing any good except to pat each other on the back about how much we hate or despise republicans. The republicans are not here learning about what they are doing wrong...they are all over at Fox News learning how to hate us.
How's that working out for ya? How is wasting your energy in hating anyone going to help this country? How about working for positive change instead of just screaming about how bad everything is and why it sucks.
Good managers tell their employees their door is open, but please don't come to tell me about your problems. Bring me solutions to your problems. I wish I'd see more people here doing that. Revving each other up to be more aggressive about getting dems to vote. And I don't mean by posting here. The people here are probably mostly voters. The non-voters are too apathetic to even waste time on the internet to learn what is important. Those are the people we need to reach. Get involved with your local dem campaign office and volunteer. It really is a shame that so few people in this country don't participate in the one process we have that can actually change things in government. We have the power...we just don't use it. If you can volunteer to drive someone to vote who can't get their on their own...do it. If you can talk your own family and friends into making the effort to vote...do it.
Just do it!
