The impending death of the Republican Party:

BWAHAHAHA.

It's Lucy with the football all over again. FDR has finally given up the ghost.
This is what America wants.

Oh well, gotta get up and go to work, raise my family, enjoy my life best I can.

1. WTF?

That was helpful, not. People--some of whom worked hard to help elect candidates--feel like shit today.
 
Rubbing their noses in those losses isn't decent, kind, or anything but rude.

2. Up until last night I was reading

Posts about how the Rethugs are on their way out and if they win it will be merely transient. You know, I worked very very hard for Wolf in PA here as he is an acquaintance of mine so I have a right to point out the ridiculousness of the statement that the nation is moving away from these ideologues.

In fact things may be getting worse in that regard so don't tell me that some severe reevaluation isn't necessary by what's left of our Progressive movement.

Maybe people need some stark reality. This nation is filled with those who loathe themselves and their fellow man and vote that way. Don't believe me: I give you the Governorship of Wisconsin as a prime example. Don't think for one minute that he couldn't wind up as your next President.

Don't think so? We had the same thoughts about that dunce Romald Reagan - Americans would never vote for him.

4. Well, I was dragging elderly people to the polls all doggone day.

And a lot of them weren't super-mobile so it was a long hard evolution. So I wasn't spending the day reading the pontifications of keyboard warriors.
 
There are days when I think this website is all talk and no walk. I would like to be wrong about that. I'd like to read more about what people are doing to help get people elected, rather than the "Waah, Hillary SUX, man! Waaah, Obama is LOUSY, man!" childish bullshit that is lather-rinse-repeat here. Keyboard Kampaigners. It's just too much effort for some to move and actually do anything, it seems.
 
If everyone dragged a less aware friend to the polls after explaining to them why their vote counted maybe we'd be in better shape.
 
I don't know--I guess some people LIKE to be miserable. I don't.

6. So you did your part

As did I.

My point is that it's not enough to fight the fear and loathing which the other side imparts. You know this is not some athletic contest wherein you're granted kudos for trying. The Democrats didn't try: they never touted their own ideology or intents, they distanced themselves from the President who has fumbled the ball and kicked it into his own end zone.

The mistakes were made at the top and down the chain we are all affected. Yeah I can be miserable - if more people were worked up and angry including the President maybe this wouldn't have been the outcome. You want politesse, good for you. Lemon or cream with your tea?
 
I'm miserable. You're *******ed right I am.

8. I don't want politesse after the fact, I want effort ahead of it.

I'm not calling you out for not doing your bit. I am wondering if everyone doing the snarking and sniping can say they did as much.
 
I see way too much griping and not enough of any conversation regarding what the complainers have done to effect change.
 
I used to work for a guy whose solution to any drama/difficulty was "I will write a STRONGLY WORDED LETTER!!!" like that would make any fooking difference. I see a lot of "strongly worded posts" but this place is a circular firing squad.
 
I think we need to look outward.

11. And so when you look outward upon

this vast wasteland that is jokingly termed the electorate, what do you see? You see a group of Pavlovian victims who have been taught, oh so carefully taught, to fear and loathe. If you're an optimist, a glass half-full person, the powers that be will insist that your glass is twice as big as it has to be.
 
I'm fresh out of optimism.

<<<brimming with optimism, joy, glee, hope, excitement, this cold grey November morning.

Happy days are here again.  We have overcome.

Well, yes, but those are the Democrats.   Perhaps your cognitive dissonance is caused by that basic misunderstanding.

Yeah.

My former good friend Doc is a textbook example of cognitive dissonance.

As Democrats, liberals, and primitives are boosting him up into the railway boxcar, he's thinking, "I've been accepted!  I've been assimilated!"

Geezuz.

20. I went to work with no sleep the next day and then

Kerry announced he wouldn't be challenging the results. They must have threatened his daughters.

Somehow, I think that said primitive is being sarcastic.
