Reply #92: If that is the case, then it stands to reason that election activism

[MineralMan]

is the solution. If a group of hard-working activists can get Al Franken elected, then can that not be done in other places? Despite the influence of corporate interests, the electorate demonstrates over and over again that they can often elect people they want elected if they work hard enough at it.

That, in short, is what I'm proposing. A positive approach, followed by hard work, to insure that Republicans do not regain control of Congress and that more progressive legislators are elected.

Influencing Democrats to not vote because it is useless to do so is not a positive approach. It is negativism. I do not believe that is difficult to understand. So, I ask the question: Is the current negativism, and I don't mean just on DU, being fed from outside of the Democratic Party?

That's the question I'm posing. Nothing else. What do you think about that question?
