Glad you're here! I think we need to remind Dems that THEIR base - that is - US - is sick and tired of being ignored, and make it clear to them that THIS is the reason why Dems were dispirited and didn't bother voting in big enough numbers. WHY? Because too many of us were asking - vote for WHAT????? republi-CON? Or republic-CON Lite? Is that really the best we can do? Is that as far as we go as a party? How far away from your base will you go, Democrats? How much are you gonna try to NOT be for us and NOT be us and NOT stand for what WE stand for?

Every damn one of them should be asked this. WHY should we vote for you? Where's your case of why you're better? Or is all you've got the Alex Sink approach in Florida which is - "well, I kinda don't like it either but, but, but, we'll fix it..." ? WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT - "well, I don't really like it but we'll fix it"? WHAT THE HELL??? Where were the Dems who stood up tall and strong and roared - "I'M DAMN PROUD OF THE ACA!!!! I'M DAMN PROUD I was part of an idea that got millions of people health insurance they could finally afford! That saved us all money because that many FEWER Americans had to resort to the E.R. which is the most exorbitantly expensive health care there is!" Where were our musclemen and wonder-women? (Except for Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren, that is.)
