63. Snarkiness won't solve the problem
You think your sarcasm undoes what I said but what I said is the truth.
As a whole the Democrats are scared of the Republicans and will not challenge them with conviction. They cave in time and time again to what the Republicans want and that's why you haven't seen any real progress for the past 4 decades.

The Democrats don't even have the guts to stand by their own platform preferring to appear like a lighter version of the Republicans to get elected. Many people look at the Democrats as the party with the best interests of The People in mind but is that really true?

Don't get it twisted. I am no longer a Democrat and I'll say that loud and proud again and again. I have no love for either party and the only reason I vote with the Democrats is because they have incorporated the Progressive Movement into their body. Like when Coca-Cola absorbs another smaller soda company.

I voted for Obama not because he was a Democrat but because I hoped he would be able to work within this party to transform it into something better. Yeah, I said it. The Democrats are WEAK and this is why The People's causes have fallen by the wayside for decade upon decade. It begins with calling out injustice for what it is and DOING something about it. As much as you saw these idiots get all indignant over steroids in baseball, wouldn't it be nice to see them apply this scrutiny to something that actually matters?
