RWNJ/Teahadist (R) vs Pragmatic, Corporate, Moderate, Conservative, Corporate (D)

a losing choice.

Once again, I truly wish it was this damn simple nadinbrzezinski May 2014 #9

Me too, sulphurdunn May 2014 #10

Mathematically, it is. And math determines the fate of the nation. riqster May 2014 #11

Again, I wish it was this simple nadinbrzezinski May 2014 #12

A very good article, thanks for sharing. riqster May 2014 #16

It does make a good case for getting your walking shoes nadinbrzezinski May 2014 #18

But without voting, nothing is possible. riqster May 2014 #21

Wrong. Re-read the article nadinbrzezinski May 2014 #27

That is a suppressive message. riqster May 2014 #28

Ah contraire mom ami nadinbrzezinski May 2014 #29

Once again, you are discouraging voting. riqster May 2014 #31

How many times will we need to have nadinbrzezinski May 2014 #35

Oh and do explain this to me nadinbrzezinski May 2014 #40

You assume that all I do is vote. That is, like most assumptions, wrong. riqster May 2014 #46

GOTV messages on DU are a waste of time, imo. Laelth May 2014 #53

The idea is to get the choir to GOTV when not in the choir loft. riqster May 2014 #56

I will be impressed when he goes to the Inner City nadinbrzezinski May 2014 #58

+1 nt laundry_queen May 2014 #94

One of our local activists works for the local labor council nadinbrzezinski May 2014 #60

We're overthinking it. gulliver May 2014 #24

Not over thinkng it nadinbrzezinski May 2014 #25

GOTV is not silly here. riqster May 2014 #32

You are picking rotten fruit nadinbrzezinski May 2014 #36

I hope you are not calling DUers "rotten fruit". That would be disrespectful in the extreme. riqster May 2014 #50

You do know the term hanging fruit nadinbrzezinski May 2014 #59

So it was an insulting term on your part. That is your choice. riqster May 2014 #61

You take it as an insult. nadinbrzezinski May 2014 #63

Ah, so calling people rotten fruit and disparaging voting is your GOTV plan? riqster May 2014 #67

You on purpose twist things nadinbrzezinski May 2014 #71

THIS ^^^^^^^ !!! calimary May 2014 #13

I personally onecaliberal May 2014 #14

I hope you're right. But I push GOTV regardless. riqster May 2014 #15

Pushing Dems to vote onecaliberal May 2014 #20

Thank you! Sick of the defeatist, woe is me BS and the constant Skidmore May 2014 #26

Yep. Right below your post is an excellent example of what we are up against here. riqster May 2014 #30

Give us something to vote for. woo me with science May 2014 #17

^^This^^ 99Forever May 2014 #23

Very well put. woo me with science May 2014 #38

So you prefer standing outside rather and lobbing grenades Skidmore May 2014 #33

Some find whinning from behind the keyboard is easier than voting. JoePhilly May 2014 #51

I like corporate owned candidate B rather than corporate candidate A. L0oniX May 2014 #76

One has a cute dog. woo me with science May 2014 #109

"run a "dog person" against a "cat person," to increase excitement for the pageantry" LMFAO L0oniX May 2014 #112

The person who made this Jamaal510 May 2014 #19

Yeah, the wording wasn't perfect. Still a good pic. riqster May 2014 #22

Excellent point. The "Voting can't change anything" arguments don't stack up - voting's our best Chathamization May 2014 #34

Voting is the bare minimum.... YoungDemCA May 2014 #37

Exactly nadinbrzezinski May 2014 #39

Voting is the foundation on which we build a movement. riqster May 2014 #41

"we?" "you?" LWolf May 2014 #42

Good on you for voting. riqster May 2014 #44

And data again contradicts that statement nadinbrzezinski May 2014 #62

I said "center through the left". riqster May 2014 #65

What I disparage is the simplistic thinking nadinbrzezinski May 2014 #66

Assumption is not your friend. riqster May 2014 #68

Here is what you keep missing nadinbrzezinski May 2014 #70

Not everyone here votes. There are posts here that prove it. riqster May 2014 #72

You are correct nadinbrzezinski May 2014 #73

I am misrepresenting nothing. riqster May 2014 #74

I am not the only one who told you that it is silly nadinbrzezinski May 2014 #80

Once again: I am advocating that we vote, and encourage others to vote. riqster May 2014 #81

And nobody is telling you to stop GOTV nadinbrzezinski May 2014 #82

Again with the assumptions. And again, incorrect. riqster May 2014 #83

So telling people to *get involved in the system is voter suppression?* nadinbrzezinski May 2014 #84

Oh and by the way, this is a textbook example of an ad hominen attack nadinbrzezinski May 2014 #85

Why are you attacking me for encouraging voting? riqster May 2014 #90

If attacking you is expanding the conversation in a place nadinbrzezinski May 2014 #93

Here is why I am puzzled: riqster May 2014 #95

I will continue to tell you that voting is not enough nadinbrzezinski May 2014 #96

Once again, you are arguing with something I did not say. riqster May 2014 #97

You attack me, personally and accuse me of suppressing the vote... nadinbrzezinski May 2014 #98

When you disparage efforts to increase voting, yes, I call that suppression. riqster May 2014 #99

If you understand widening the discussion nadinbrzezinski May 2014 #100

Expansion is not what you did. What you did was criticize and object. riqster May 2014 #101

You got my number nadinbrzezinski May 2014 #102

What you are doing is having an argument with yourself. riqster May 2014 #103

Expected, you are suppressing the vote nadinbrzezinski May 2014 #104

Have fun at work. riqster May 2014 #106

We have been accused nadinbrzezinski May 2014 #111

it IS illuminating! zappaman May 2014 #87

Less Taxis, lol B Calm May 2014 #43

Yeah, those are the Wingnuts who always vote. riqster May 2014 #45

Even when you do vote, we still end up with those idiots in office or worse Exposethefrauds May 2014 #47

We need to vote in primaries and general elections. riqster May 2014 #48

With D's like Pryor, Landrieu, and Manchin the 1% does not even have to own all the D's Exposethefrauds May 2014 #49

That is why we need to be more active throughout the cycle. riqster May 2014 #54

Agree more people need to be involved early on and be ready to be attacked by those who Exposethefrauds May 2014 #55

I disagree with the last part of your post. riqster May 2014 #57

What a moron! Erich Bloodaxe BSN May 2014 #52

Isn't that "Moran"? riqster May 2014 #64

That is scarry! Lady Freedom Returns May 2014 #69

...so will the corporations that own this country. L0oniX May 2014 #75

Sadly, that is entirely true. The bastards. riqster May 2014 #77

That's the problem for one's conscience. Voting for corporate candidate A or B. L0oniX May 2014 #88

After 8 years of the Bushistas, and now under Repub occupation in Ohio, riqster May 2014 #89

Either way we are being herded into a fascistic corporate owned country. L0oniX May 2014 #92

+ infinity ~ vote vote vote vote vote vote vote vote vote, etc. Zorra May 2014 #78

And take your friends and family with you! riqster May 2014 #79

Sad to see people on this site and this thread discouraging voting zappaman May 2014 #86

Thanks! riqster May 2014 #91
