22. Seriously?

Please. You want them to "take action" (presumably something that will actually make a difference) but you can't tell me what "action" will make you happy? No matter what the Democrats do, the GOP will always be in charge.

So it becomes a vicious cycle of blame and accusations for being in the minority in a system that does not give the minority party many options. Are you listening to what you're saying?

We need the votes that will put the Democrats back in power... with a majority. But the chronically unhappy and Dem-blamers are doing their level best to suppress the vote and falsely portray the Democrats is feckless, weak, cowards... etc etc. (Charming, eh?)

It's an endless game of

"Do something!"
"Okay here's what we did/said."
"That's not enough, things are still the same. Do something else."
"What will you have us do?"
"I don't know, just do something to make it all better."
"We're doing what we can."
"I hate you. Democrats suck! I'm never voting for you again! And I'll tell my friends to not vote for you either!"
(Sigh.)

Does that about capture it? How does that help? I can assure you that it does NOT help. It just helps to perpetuate a false myth and the GOP IS LOVING EVERY MINUTE OF IT!! Of course the GOP is going to watch and smile at the circular firing squad.

I see that I'm wasting my time here. Please continue... but without me.
