^so again with the pointing guns at your own team....but I'm starting to think you are on the 'destroy the Democratic party team'
If they're going to continue to be sell-outs and corporate shills, then yes, push them into a volcano.
But I truly believe with a little refocus they could be good! I think there are a lot of people that really want to fight the good fight for working people, but that the Dems that want to take big money from donors and do their bidding are digging in their heels because they see a threat to their gravy train. I definitely don't think that any of them automatically earn my vote or respect because they have D next to their name.
I do think Obama was kind of a shitty president in the long run. Practically everyone of his big achievements have been overturned (except ACA but that's been a victim of its own kowtowing to the insurance industry). Lots of what he ran on didn't come to pass due to his own tail-tucking. Most people deported under any other president (yes, the definition changed, but still...). Flying murder bots raining hellfire on weddings. Zero people facing accountability for collapsing the economy or for torture under GWB. Those things, to me, are bad!
Look, I get he was stone-walled a lot. But he also tried to find common ground with a bunch of maniacs that would refuse anything he offered. SO fuck them and stand for what you believe in. And I do think his shift between campaign rhetoric and what he did as president is a big reason why like 1,000 seats were lost during his term.
I think thats the crux of what these dummies are missing. I think people aren't willing to as easily accept the lesser of two evils, and more so voters aren't showing up when they're not given a champion.
staff on campaigns are historically underpaid (if paid at all) and overworked...and I don't have a problem with that
Well, historically kids could work in factories, but that was a bummer and people changed it. I can't really accept that staffers get underpaid or not paid at all. That's garbage and if a candidate does it, I think it speaks volumes to their actual beliefs.
