We are less than 12 hours away from the most important midterms, are you fighting or complaining?

[wndycty]

I am fighting and I encourage you to do so as well.

At this point there is nothing productive about siding with Stewart or Schultz or Olbermann.

At this point there is nothing productive in calling for Tim Kaine to step down.

At this point there is nothing productive about complaining that Obama is not progressive enough.

At this point there is nothing productive in worrying about who becomes majority leader if Reid loses (worry about helping win).

At this point you should be figuring out what you can do today to guard the change.

1. Complaining, of course -- this is DU. That's what we DU.

[whatchamacallit]

2. Fighting and complaining! n/t

[zipplewrath]

3. I can do both

One can inspire and motivate me to do the other.

[laylah]

4. Both...because I can :) nt

[mdmc]

5. neither

I am scrapping change together to pay for physical therapy. I have health insurance, but lack access to affordable medical care.

I sure do feel much better since paying for PT. I really feel better. Too bad I can't afford it.

actually, I guess I am complaining after all..

[EFerrari]

6. Multi tasking is good. n/t

[LostInAnomie]

7. If you are spending time on here, you definitely aren't fighting.

Despite what people like to think, posting on a message board doesn't count as activism.

[wndycty]

10. And that is why I am headed to the train station to pass lit with a State Rep in about 45

:kick:

[Scuba]

12. Disagree. DU is a wonderful means of keeping informed....

...which helps me on the phone calls and at the doors.

[LostInAnomie]

20. Don't sell yourself short.

Informing yourself is just that, informing yourself. Calling it activism lumps yourself in with lazy asses that just sit around on DU "informing themselves" all day and never moving from their computer.

Your phone calls and knocking on doors are real activism.

[AC_Mem]

13. But posting on DU

and volunteering DO count.

And our energy counts, believe that. It counts for alot.

22. Volunteering counts.

But, posting on DU is just chatting on a discussion board. It doesn't directly impact anyone's life or advance any cause. People can call it informing, but in reality there is no discernible difference between "informing" and sitting on your ass fucking around on DU all day.

17. You have no idea who you're talking to.

Trust me.

[TheKentuckian]

8. I can work for Jack and John and bitch about Barack and Ben all in the same day.

9. My first "most important" midterm was in 1966.

Followed by 22 "most important" elections. And, I expect, that 2012 will be the next "most important" election.

[texastoast]

11. I have to be at the polls at 9:30 tonight

to set up and be back at 6:00 a.m.

I did my last canvassing this weekend.

Everyone can log on to MoveOn and make phone calls from their homes this evening to help get out the vote in critical areas.

[sally cat]

14. Many seem to groveling along with Jon Stewart even before the election. "We'll be nice!!!"

[LoZoccolo]

K&R n/t

[McCamy Taylor]

15. Democratic umbrella is huge. Big enough for Stewart, Olbermann and lots more.

Remember, it is the other party that speaks as one and marches in lock step.

Approach politics like a Buddhist. Be nice when it is appropriate to be nice. Be a bitch when it is appropriate to be a bitch. Raise a shit storm when it is appropriate to raise a shit storm.

[Scurrilous]

16. K & R

:thumbsup:

[McCamy Taylor]

18. Oh, and btw, I never stop fighting.

[left coaster]

19. I can multi-task like a mofo, so I'm doing BOTH! :) nt

[lafayettelonewolf]

21. Me?

I just shut up and fight, fight, fight, fight. :headbang:

[elocs]

23. Neither.

[txaslftist]

24. complaining... I voted early.

[jgraz]

25. I'm busy telling people what they should be posting on the internet

No wait... that's you.

[madrchsod]

26. it`s long war...........

[Number23]

27. Rec'd!

[Tesha]

28. Both, of course!

Mr. Tesha and I just finished a two-hour "Visibility" shift and he'll
be out at the polls all day tomorrow, from opening to closing and
I'll be out as long as I can stand to stand still in one place.

We've *EARNED* our right to complain. ;)
