No belief in the hopey, changie thing
People who aren't politically minded anymore (like me) could give a rat's ass about arming (yet again) Middle East citizens fighting whatever rebels call themselves at the moment. And who the fuck can tell who the players are? We've left billions in WAM and lost thousands of American lives over there for what? Morality? Bush/Cheney Inc. are rarely mentioned as the instigators of that huge fuckwad and pretend they had nothing to do with kicking over the hornet's nest. Let's just retire from being the world's savior and pay attention to national weather terrorism that causes more havoc and destruction on a yearly basis.
And the NFL crimes? When did that org become more powerful than justice or the law? Certainly there plenty of beefy guys to pay millions to who can take orders and catch a ball and don't hit people. Why do we reward criminals?
The next president will be left with the continuation of Bush/Cheney's fuck-up and no speeches about hope and change will color anyone's view this time. Good luck.

turn around and blow billions on bullshit 'wars' because.....well....BOO! 
It's election season. Thought bashing Dems on DU at this time was Taboo~
Guess not,
Yes, I get it now Obama Sucks and is responsible for everything past present and future.
This makes DU Suck!
Vote for Democrats.
Winning elections is important — therefore, advocating in favor of Republican nominees or in favor of third-party spoiler candidates that could split the vote and throw an election to our conservative opponents is never permitted on Democratic Underground. But that does not mean that DU members are required to always be completely supportive of Democrats. During the ups-and-downs of politics and policy-making, it is perfectly normal to have mixed feelings about the Democratic officials we worked hard to help elect. When we are not in the heat of election season, members are permitted to post strong criticism or disappointment with our Democratic elected officials, or to express ambivalence about voting for them. In Democratic primaries, members may support whomever they choose. But when general election season begins, DU members must support Democratic nominees (EXCEPT in rare cases where were a non-Democrat is most likely to defeat the conservative alternative, or where there is no possibility of splitting the liberal vote and inadvertently throwing the election to the conservative alternative). For presidential contests, election season begins when both major-party nominees become clear. For non-presidential contests, election season begins on Labor Day. Everyone here on DU needs to work together to elect more Democrats and fewer Republicans to all levels of American government. If you are bashing, trashing, undermining, or depressing turnout for our candidates during election season, we'll assume you are rooting for the other side.
