I have two bones to pick. first one is the media:

I know the media is suppose to be fair and balanced but I really get pissed everytime rachel maddows rubs her hands to gather, laughs and says the elections nights are going to be fun. I don't know why i expect her to be a branch of the dems party like faux news does for the repugs. but i really think that kind of stuff helps bring home the message for republicans, i'm not even sure i would want the dems to do this but maybe the party needs to look into starting their own news network.

the second thing is people keep saying that americans voted for repugs, i don't see that. I see they didn't vote at all but maybe that is the same thing as voting for a repug. there has to be something to the fact that we keep trying to get out the vote and they keep trying to stop folks from voting. there has to be a way to get people to participate in every election, i honestly believe that a lot of people don't really see any difference between the parties and figure they don't have to worry about who's controlling government. so i think one of the really big challenges for the dems to get a better handle on things is some way to get people informed that we don't have to live this way and that voting dem is the first step to getting this place headed in that direction.

1. I made it through another election without watching a single second of cable news!

[okieinpain]

2. i don't know how you did that. it's like a car wreck you just

have to peek.

[bigwillq]

3. Not for me.

I stopped watching cable news years ago.

[okieinpain]

4. LOL. strong willed you are.

[bigwillq]

5. Nope. Just smart.

[JaneyVee]

7. Same here. Got results in realtime from twitter.

Haven't watched cable news since election 2012. Not once.

6. Some people find politic fascinating, and Dr. Maddow happens to be one of those people

Elections are the epitome of Politics.. Why do you participate on a political forum if you are not interested and fascinated by politics?

8. For the pony.

9. In the former Soviet countries the major media,

outlets are all controlled by either unions or political parties. It is a terrible idea.

10. I agree on both counts. I think Racheal has enough

money that the elections don't matter to her. I do think she is passionate on LGBT issues.

[JudyM]

11. She expresses deep passion about a wide array of issues, why would you single out LGBT?

Because other reporters are not passionate about it, so it is more noticeable vis a vis their reporting?

12. None of the above won nearly everywhere with 60% of the vote

; on average.
