Time to snap out of it

[impik]

Enough with the whining. Time to go to work. Just remember who's on the other side.

1. Damned right it's time to get to work. The other side is the owners.

Just to make it clear because people on here seem to forget ...

[MannyGoldstein]

2. The problem is with elected Democrats attacking working Americans

Not with dispirited voters.

Just think: a commission to slash Social Security. The DLC has blown us all up again.

[RBInMaine]

11. DLC DLC DLC DLC.... please try another record. This one is broken.

[Kalun D]

32. Sorry Truth Hurts

these aren't real dems, they are corporate dems, same thing as a republican

these as*holes are to the right of Nixon

The DLC/DNC is a sh*tstain on the face of the democratic party

[sabrina 1]

36. No it's not. In fact we wasted far too much time before

recognizing what is destroying the Democratic party which used to be the party of the people. Now we know, the enemy is within this party and needs to be exposed.

We intend to go to work. Real Democrats have nothing to fear in November, they will be reelected.

Rightwingers can not count on votes from Democrats. And no scare tactics will change that.

[NJmaverick]

22. Your statement is complete and utterly incorrect

There isn't one thing you got right

[Kalun D]

34. Say What?

You mean Obama didn't appoint Alan Simpson to make it a cat food commission?

How's that not against the working class?

How come guys like you are always coming down on the side of the corporations?

Why are you even posting on DU?

[NJmaverick]

37. There is no such thing as a cat food commission

3. Excellent motivating tool...

Telling people with genuine concerns that their needs and the needs of so many groups of people in this country aren't being met, at the expense of the those either already with so much or those responsible for this misery that they are "whining".

I know that just makes me want to pull out my check book and run out and vote straight ticket for "not as bad as the republicans would be" party.

[impik]

4. Man, what a depressing place....

Enjoy your pity party, and the new speaker of the House.

[bigwillq]

5. Whining about how depressing this place is, are we???

Enough with the whining.

[hulka38]

6. Your attitude is toxic.

[Bluenorthwest]

8. I agree

[handmade34]

7. we could use your help

getting out the vote and keeping the speaker we have now

[cap]

10. GOTV is big... I hope everyone is working on a campaign this fall

eom

[RBInMaine]

12. Not happy? Then nominate and elect someone better. Otherwise, yes, quit whining so much.

[vi5]

14. Again.....way to motivate.

No wonder "our side" is in such shambles.

The brilliance is astounding.

[RBInMaine]

18. You are holding out to be motivated by purity. Please grow up and get real.

[vi5]

19. Amazing...mind reading as well....

You have the incredible gift of being able to tell what motivates me, and presumably others and what would make us "grow up".

This is an astounding skill. Please, do reveal your secrets. I'm on the edge of my seat awaiting your infinite wisdom.

[RBInMaine]

25. I'm waiting for you to tell me what you need to see a half-full glass rather than one half empty

as most grownups do.

[vi5]

27. Does it matter?

I mean really would anything I type mean anything to you? I'm guessing it wouldn't. I'm guessing you'd just give me more of the same "But the other side would be worse." or give me one of those ridiculous list of "accomplishments" where at least 80% of them are predicated by meaningless words like "Committed to......" or "Pledged to...." or "Supported......".

And as I've said time and again, I'm still going to vote for democrats probably across the board. But if you expect me to feel anything other than disappointed about it, let alone to cheer over the squandering of a once in a lifetime majority it in 2 houses of congress and the White House, then I'm sorry I'm just not going to do it. So yeah, my "half full" is pretty much being blown on me voting for Democrats because they aren't as bad as the other guys".

You can make me eat shit when I don't have a choice because I'm starving. But don't then hand me a bill and ask me to pay for the shit you just made me eat, and definitely don't ask me to write you a hand written thank you note and send flowers for doing so.

[NJmaverick]

23. The problem is that the people who want to cut off their noses to spite their faces

will hurt more than just themselves

[craigmatic]

9. Thats great news. I hope millions turn out for it. The left has been long overdue for a

march of their own under Obama. Maybe then they'll listen.

[backwoodsbob]

13. how many of these posts do we need?

I'm sick of reading...we aren't as bad as them.

Go back to whoever is giving the talking points and tell them to give us something to vote FOR instead of this constant *ebil ebil..Palin Palin* bullshit.

Have the president repeal DADT by executive order and dare them to challenge.

Have the president go to the floor of the house and FIGHT to hold middle class tax cuts while allowing them to expire for the upper class.

Have the president GO ON TV and FIGHT the repuke mems instead of hiding in a corner.

I voted for a guy who portrayed himself as a fighter ...it's time he started fighting.

[bigwillq]

15. Excellent post.

:thumbsup:

[emilyg]

16. +1

[ProSense]

17. "I'm sick of reading...we aren't as bad as them."

We aren't. Do you have a problem with all the posts that attempt to prove otherwise?

"Have the president go to the floor of the house and FIGHT to hold middle class tax cuts while allowing them to expire for the upper class.

A President go to the floor of the House?

[DrSteveB]

20. I don't think convincing other people by being condescending is a good strategy

Just my opinion. These dailykos diaries putting down Democrats reluctant to vote are bound to get no results.

[NJmaverick]

24. How are you convincing people?

perhaps the OP can follow your example

[NJmaverick]

21. Lead, follow or get out of the way!

:patriot:

[denimgirly]

26. Who's on the other side? How about who's on our side?

Both sides suck and when you are given a choice of "Only for the Rich" and "Only for the Rich" who do u vote for. My guess is people stay home.

[FrenchieCat]

28. Sowing dissent against Democrats

should not be a worthwhile cause here at DU....

Thus far, you have told us that you aren't voting,
and that you think Democrats = Republicans.

The fact that you are in every thread to spout negatives
points to an agenda...and one that won't be good for
real progressives.

[Kalun D]

33. define

democrats?

If you mean people like Rahm, Summers, Geitner, Bernanke

I will NEVER stop sowing dissent against these scumbags.

[Mimosa]

35. 'Real Progressives'?

FrenchieCat, I like you. But the people here on D.U. who support the President even after he betrayed the real liberals who wanted health care reform and an end to the wars are the progressives.

[Clio the Leo]

29. gotta get in on this one! KICK!!!! nt

[depakid]
