23. So in other words this guy is telling Democrats what they want to hear

May 2014

However Democrats set back and allow the Republicans and the likes of CNN and Faux blame the Democrats for all the stupid shit GW did. They allow the Republicans to blame Democrats for the huge budget deficit and it worked. Democrats assume that voters are so pissed off at the Republicans that they will flock to the polls and vote for them just like they did in 2012 when they allowed Republicans to walk all over them and win the huge Majority in the House.Its no different in 2014 and the Republicans have all their ducks in a row and all the scripts are wriiten for their mouth pieces and Democrats are setting back as usuall and assuming it wont happen. They don't care as much as we do because they are protected by a probable nest egg they have built and they don't care about how much a gallon of gas costs or a loaf of bread because if they have served any time at all in Congress they have had the advantage of those quick stock exchange trades where insider trading is permitted Remember?
So Mr pollster I don't believe your BS

Democrats would do well to listen to Elizabeth Warren. She and her ilk are the near future NorthCarolina May 2014 #8

Democrats need a national narrative … a fresh version of "New Deal," say Auggie May 2014 #10

Unfortunately, the party has been hijacked by those more interested in PR narratives woo me with science May 2014 #11

I mean PR narrative … there isn't a cohesive national communication strategy. Auggie May 2014 #14

That's also true. But we have no populist platform to trumpet, so why blow the horns? Scuba May 2014 #33

Create one!!! Aren't Democrats supposedly the party of the people? Let's remind everyone of that. Auggie May 2014 #36

We need to GOTV and get people to the polls, too. riqster May 2014 #13

I like corporapublicrat B ...because B looks and acts nicer than A. L0oniX May 2014 #18

And not voting changes that paradigm how, exactly? riqster May 2014 #19

That's what I'm saying. Voting is voting for a corporapublicrat ...either way. L0oniX May 2014 #22

So not voting helps to change that paradigm? riqster May 2014 #29

Well it does keep the corporate clown circus going L0oniX May 2014 #39

We are all fucked as long as corporapublicrats are in office. L0oniX May 2014 #17
