Fellow PROBAMAS, here's what you can do right now!
For every "I'm not voting", get two people to vote for Obama in 2012!

For every "I'm not donating", get two people to donate!

For every "I'm getting off the mailing list", get two people on!

For every "I'm not volunteering", get two people to volunteer!

:bounce:

1. I wonder...
How many of those who said they are not voting, not donating, not volunteering actually volunteered or donated in the past.

I find that people are big talkers when it comes to things they cannot prove or disprove.

I have become skeptical of many here recently.

5. Especially since the polls - even amongst the liberals - don't match what's said here.
Overall, the people you'd expect to be satisfied are satisfied. I think you're right; DU gives people a platform for theatrics, so those are the tactics you'll see here.

2. You do not need to "get two people to donate" - just go to the corps who pull the strings.
Especially now that the SC has elevated them above actual biological persons.

3. the only donations I'll be making will be to candidates NOT getting corpo donations
although my paltry 50 bucks will hardly do squat compared with the millions the corpo candidates will receive
