That sums it up. How does one have a rational discussion with that attitude?

25. you can't...
yet we keep trying to reach across the aisle. The only time reps "reach across the aisle" it is to tighten their grip on our necks.

23. Unfortunately...
... it's discouragingly true.
I for one, for example, cannot help but wish the President had acted more decisively and unilaterally when he had the chance. I did not, however, vote against the Democratic party nor did I decline to vote.
We're in for a sad two years.

28. From getting fewer votes than Republicans in a majority of districts
The pundits want to dodge this now? :rofl:

Love the way the "left" tells us they don't have passion any more and they were the ones who delivered the votes and when they didn't get what they wanted and didn't feel duly respected, they just wouldn't do all the work they'd done before. Then when the Rs win, suddenly it's victim mode - how dare you blame us, we're not so powerful after all.

38. Have you been reading DU?
That's what it's been like. Take responsibility, progressives. You laughed at the idea the Repukes would win while you constantly trashed the democrats. Now you don't want to be responsible. :nopity:

39. It was only on Planet Error that progressives "constantly trashed the democrats."
Here on Earth, the party apparatchix called its base retards who needed drug tests. Single payer advocates not only didn't get a seat at the table, they were dragged off in handcuffs.

The DC "Dems" deliberately tanked the midterms because they prefer Republican policy. Don't lay that on progressives.

40. Have you been paying attention?
Edited on Tue Nov-09-10 11:57 PM by ProudDad
We Progressives have been telling you idiots for 2 years now that if Obama acts like Bush III with payoffs to banksters and more billions to the fucking war machine and if Dems keep selling out Progressive Values that you guys will get your asses handed to you on a platter...

Told you so!

Now why don't you republican-lites take responsibility for your blue-dog bullshit?


And don't give me any bullshit about voting for "republicans". I've NEVER voted for a republican.

I voted for mostly Democrats, one Green and one independent; all relatively congruent with my values...

I did NOT vote for the execrable blue-dog who unfortunately "represents" my CD though... :puke: Unfortunately, she didn't lose so she probably learned NOTHING...

33. Let me just say one thing: Now we know what DOESN'T work.
So um, yeah, maybe we should start heading in the right direction rather than going further in the wrong direction? just sayin'

42. I think the Democratic Leadership need boot camp in "Co-Dependent No More"
Basic training in how to wish the bullies and crazies well, detach from them and then do what needs to be done to take care of yourself!!
