General Discussion
In reply to the discussion: It would be nice if the centrists in this party did some introspection, too. [View all]davsand
(13,421 posts)I understand (and share!) your frustration with the ones who voted Green in the General. I'm no more thrilled than you are with what we have in the Whitehouse right now.
However, I'm more concerned at the huge percentage of people that didn't even BOTHER to go vote. That 4 or 5 percent who chose to go Green are frustrating, but what about the other +50% that never bothered to show up on election day? THAT makes me furious, and it has a lot to do with candidates and parties that didn't inspire any passion or even a minimal interest in the race.
Instead of Dems bashing crap outta each other on ideological disputes, it seems to me that we all probably will make bigger gains if we figure out what our party needs to do to motivate people enough to show up and vote.
Just a thought.
