Billionaires’ crybaby club: Someone get these whiners a bottle! - By Joan Walsh

6. FDR lived in the days when minority voters were still viciously suppressed. Still he was voted in.

This is not the USSR even though reichwingers call it that every time a Democrat wins an election.

Fox News freaked when Obama won in 2008 as millions who had never been acknowledged before got out and voted. And they freaked out worse in 2012, as they had justifed all the schemes to disenfranchise voters. They really believed that their reality ruled, their false narrative, but it didn't. And despite all the tricks, they could not overcome the sheer numbers who didn't believe the lies.

To not vote is to vote for the people hurting us now, as apathy always benefits the status quo. If we look we can see the reality of what is happening, the 7 million registered for Obamacare, although the numbers are much greater as it didn't show all the Medicaid expansions and children staying on their polices.

The media has blacked out everything good Obama has done, edited his words, lied outright and people on the right believe them and vote. And others give up because they listen to them, and their hearts grow faint.

The people with too much to lose cannot afford to not jump through the hoops to vote, not afford to not get out and help others vote, such as Planned Parenthood most likely did while they registered so many people for Obamacare. In 2012, an article at Kos quoted a part of the ACA that facilitated registering voters. Perhaps from their work alone, over a million and a half voters were registered to overcome the GOP tricksters.

And others have been out doing the same, registering people. If it was not effective, the GOP with their Koch millions wouldn't be fighting so hard. About Planned Parenthood:

Planned Parenthood ACA Outreach

Published on Mar 31, 2014

The Affordable Care Act is one of the greatest advancements for women's health in a generation. As the leading women's health care provider and advocate, Planned Parenthood fought hard for the law's passage, and now we are working to make sure our patients and the communities we serve know about their new health care options.

In just a few months, Planned Parenthood reached out to over 1,560,000 people and had more than 300,000 conversations about health insurance.

The media black out on the ACA, in force since 2010, but note that is a BOG (safe haven) post:

There is so much that has been held back about this law and there is plenty we can do to overcome the RW.
'We must hang together, or we will hang separately' is the Founder quote, but that goes for everything. We can love each other enough to keep working on this.
