Rank & File Dem = Cubs Fan - Except now Cubs don't suck

[Stoic]

I'm Chicago born and raised so I know a little bit about the despair of the average Cubs fan. Most years the team sucked but every so often not so much and they came close to making the big show. This year, flying spaghetti monster willing, they might not suck all the way.

But that's how I feel now watching the Democratic Leadership snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. 28 years of having the Republicans beat on them like a drum has made them victims of the Battered Congressional Democrat Syndrome. The Repukes threaten them over the economy/security/war and they flinch and try to make a deal.

Matt Stoller has got this SO right...

I'm heading to the Clinton Global Initiative for a few hours before going back to DC for the debate. One thing to note is just how wankerous the Democratic leaders including Obama are being in this crisis. I'm glad McCain and the House GOP blew up this deal, and frankly, the notion that Obama is acting like an adult by wanting to give $700B to Wall Street is nauseatingly stupid. Note that Democratic leaders are all equally angry that McCain pulled out and praising Obama for being 'serious'. It's just more evidence that Obama's people represent zero change from the Democratic status quo. Even with the $700B number completely pulled out of thin air and an election in 40 days, these fuckers can't bring themselves to control their obviously showing boners at a possible bipartisan deal and let the voters make a damned decision for once. This crisis has been good for Obama's electoral chances and all the downticket Democrats, so you'd think the Democrats would play this for all its worth.

Nope. They hate politics. They hate it and wish it would just go away so they can cut a deal without those pesky voters. It's really pathetic. They also won't realize that Republicans don't agree with us on most stuff, as Sirota noted in his post yesterday. They aren't interested in solving this, they are proudly racist and selfish and want a monarchy built on those values. They need to be fought. Why do Democratic leaders keep extending a presumption of good faith to this faction of illiberalism? They don't believe in good faith, they think Democrats are evil chumps.

I am so close to leaving the Democratic Party because of these wankers. FIGHT BACK YOU STUPID FUCKS! QUIT TRYING TO MAKE DEALS!!!!
