I am tired of fighting for America and ending up on the losing end
I am tired of fighting for the middle and lower middle class people around me only to have them vote against their self interest and mock me for my efforts. I am tired of supporting candidates in my red state who have no chance of winning. I am tired of defending politicians I do help get elected from a constant onslaught of lies, slander and the right wing echo chamber. I am tired of never getting a few moments between elections to feel at ease; lost this one, on to the next one. Won this one now defend it with everything you have. I am tired of cheaters and liars beating decent honest people. I am tired of FoxNews, Glen Beck, Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh and the dozens of other hateful talkers who have made millions by bashing President Obama and people like me. I am tired of the democratic circular firing squads.

Maybe we let this experiment called democracy fail and start over again. Perhaps the best thing for America would be to expedite the corporate control, corruption and right wing incompetence and let tens of millions fall into poverty and despair, die uninsured in the streets and watch unemployment go to 30%. Maybe then the working class patsies who support their own extinction will finally, finally wake up, riot in the streets and demand a more equitable America.

I feel like we are trapped in the song by The Bloodhound Gang from the eighties, "The Roof is on Fire," and I am like, "Hey we are inside this poorly constructed building with no fire exits and the motherfucking roof is on fire!" and most of the people are just drunk and shouting, "We don't need no water let the motherfucker burn!"

I wouldn't blame President Obama if he said fuck it after one term.

Fuck it.

1. OK, seriously. What did Obama do for the lower class?
What is better for the lower class since 2008? And this is not just about Obama, but Congress as well. What is better?

Nothing has changed. The corporations still own America. Now it's just going to be worse.

He gave us a few breadcrumbs out of the whole loaf...no, wait, out of the whole bakery.

People think change has happened. It did. But only for corporations. And in a positive way for them.

It's no wonder we're (progressives) are feeling burned out, frustrated, pissed.

This is a republican theme. The above scenario would give them more power. Name one example where the above scenario resulted in more power to the people? And don't give me the French or Chinese, not the same at all. You are the one who needs to wake up.
