In reply to the discussion: I'm tired of democratic activists being thrown under the bus... [View all]white_wolf
(6,238 posts)12. Why do you think activists are attacking this president?
Maybe, because he isn't as good as you think. Face it, he has governed as center-right President, so don't expect a lot of people to be too enthusiastic about voting for him, even though most people will simply because we have no real choice in this country. Sure, Obama will get my vote, but not because he's earned, but because this country gives us no choice.

Activists don't run the country. They have a part to play, which is activism, not running a govt.
