You know what... I came back and started to post again after a long time gone from here

[Coexist]

and I actually thought this morning, after it all sunk in, that DU would begin to gel... and we'd all focus our disgust where it belonged.

But today, its still all, 'blame this part of us, blame that part of us, we're too this, we're not enough that'

Sometimes, this place really sucks.

Republicans = them

Democrats = us

How freaking hard is that?

[PeaceNikki]

1. yeah

:thumbsup:

[spanone]

2. maybe now we have a common 'enemy' . the last two years we've been eating out own

we'll get over this election, may just take another day or so

[Coexist]

3. I hope so.

I used to love it here. It was my refuge.

[jgraz]

4. Sorry, but there are some here who wish to spin this loss as an "act of god"

And if we fail to learn the real lessons of this defeat, we are doomed to repeat it in 2012.

9. Well, that certainly isn't the more pragmatic DUers

So, I'll be waiting for a contrite post any time now.

[jgraz]

10. Do you mean the *actual* pragmatic DUers?

Or the ones you think are pragmatic?

5. Sorry, you have the wrong "us" and "them".

Political class = them
Working class = us

The working class is desperately flailing around looking for someone - anyone - to be on their side, and they will keep switching their votes in the desperate hope that this time the roulette wheel will pay off.

If betting on the Dems had actually paid off for the working class, we wouldn't have had the results we had last night.

THAT is the simple truth.

6. +1

Dems don't need "party unity". They need to stand up for the working class or join ranks with the Republicans and give up. Get a platform or go home.

7. Bingo! n/t

[Catherina]

8. +1 n/t

12. Nailed it.

[chill_wind]

13. Nailed it.

It's still taking a lot of hard partisans in both parties a looooong time to figure this out, while working class America drowns more every day.

15. Working class? You missed the memo

we are all MIDDLE CLASS... from the billionaires all the way to the janitor making 25K a year.

And that my dear is part of the problem.

When people ask me I tell them I AM WORKING CLASS. I have had people look at me askance.

[ProgressIn2008]

14. Exactly so. nt

[nadinbrzezinski]

16. It will take until the New Speaker is sworn in

and then the stoopid will break.

First will be all the investigations!

18. Whta's best about this forum
