 Ok time for some tough love
You know what the problem of the democratic party is? (And I am sure you are not going to like it)

And I mean the heart of the problem....

Stop the wining and the belly aching and pointing fingers.

Main problem is, the other side IS organized (and has money, that helps)... Dems... not so much...

The Republicans figured this out long ago, you want to control the country, you need to control all from the dog catcher and school district level (where all the local power is), all the way to the WH.

Dems have not figured this out. At least I have yet to see evidence that people understand this... let alone local parties.

Quick, who was running for your local court who was more to your liking? How about the school board? If you happen to have dog catcher, dog catcher. (Yeah, yea, I happen to know and I voted for them)

Local game matters...

Now to work with me...

5. I hate to be the downer here, but I'm ****ing sick of working my ass off and so this time I didn't

and I doubt it made any difference. I feel outgunned, outspent, and pretty much outnumbered by those who worship fundamentalist religion, the rich, and corporate power. I and most of my friends could never run for office because we aren't lying jerks who have a perfectly hidden past. Looks like I'll have to wait for the old white repub majority to die off and hope I live long enough to see the younger gen of less religious and bigoted folks come into power.

I don't WANT to have to care who is dogcatcher. If other people aren't interested enough in who is running the show to get informed - it's a losing battle.

Ok, I'm in a bad mood today. I admit it.

8. Alas your republican neighbors care

or the people in charge at their local party do... and have a hell of a ground game and tell their people.

This is coming because I live in a redistricted district... you know how many of my neighbors know? The local democratic party had no money, organization or volunteers. So it feel to a reporter (me) to let the neighbors I know hey, we are no longer in Susan Davis's district These are the people running.

Now the judges I knew them, as in met them in the flesh. I admit, it is easier if you are reporting on races.

Now my REPUBLICAN neighbors knew we lived in a newly born district.

I got some more photos to process.


Did she use the good rig- the world is wondering...

and a little bit of truth shines in:

No, DUmmie, we have heard you loud and clear and completely reject your collectivism.

C.S. Lewis

A community may possess all the necessary moral qualifications, in so high a degree, as to be capable of self-government under the most adverse circumstances; while, on the other hand, another may be so sunk in ignorance and vice, as to be incapable of forming a conception of liberty, or of living, even when most favored by circumstances, under any other than an absolute and despotic government.

I thought Obama had shown y'all how to do that? Just seal it and hire lawyers to keep it sealed.

I don't know if it was by design or just happened. Most the political signage around here Identified the persons political affiliation ie Republican or Independent some had no political affiliation but it wasn't hard to figure out . :???: :whatever: :-)

It's happening everywhere I think. Party affilliation used to take up at least 1/4 of the sign. Now they're ashamed to put democrat on the sign. :lmao:

Downtown Columbia, TN (Hwy 31) still looks the same from FDR's heyday in the 30s, with the Democratic Party's headquarters right in the middle of town. 

Every time I passed by it and saw their signs, I shook my head and asked myself if they ever walked outside their office or turned on the television to see what the wackos in their party are doing in Washington.

You idiots had 2 years unopposed.

You pissed off the American people so bad we can stop you cold a moment's notice.

Now you're dejected and angry. You're giving up, waiting for somebody else to take care of you.

Which is why you're defined as losers.

Which is why we keep winning.

Nads is back from the old country rested and ready.  She has discovered Tip O'Neil's "All politics is local".  The fun part is Cali doesn't agree  thus setting up a confrontation between two of the densest minds on the Dump.  Suffice to say, the planet is in danger.
