(19,926 posts)Maybe if we look at the mistakes Obama makes/has made we can change them and get the base - that he ignores - riled up and enthusiastic again. I don't think middle of the road policies are going to get people excited to vote and by accepting everything being done right now without speaking out about it that's what you are accepting. And that's just not enough to get people out to vote.
You can't just ignore things and expect those who feel let down to get on the bus. It just won't work.
You can do better by complaining to the WH about their messaging if you want to get people excited to vote. Tell them to start talking about increasing SS. Tell them to get a decent message about the ACA so Dems can run on that as a positive, not run on it as something they are going to "fix". Tell them to assure the people that they are going to regulate banksters. Tell them to tell the people they will make sure net neutrality does not fail. And make sure they actually do these things and more.
It's not our fault if people are less than enthusiastic to vote. It's the elected Dems' fault for not standing up for the people and for conducting business as usual when they promised change.
Plus, as I said, you seem to think people can only do one thing at a time. People who post valid criticism here are also activists. As it is you are on here complaining about other people complaining. I don't think that's helping your cause.
