If even half of them showed up for the dems, and the dems had +10 in the senate, they’d do nothing to help the people who elected them, give the Republicans half the discretionary budget in the name of bipartisanship, give the banks billions of dollars, and bomb a dozen middle eastern countries to prove they’re just as strong on foreign policy as Republicans. We know this because that is what happened. We need to focus on purging the party if we want our votes to matter in the general.

If there’s one thing the past six months have taught me it’s that republicans and democrats are exactly the same.
Oh. Wait.
They’re not the same, but it’s easy to see how people become too jaded and cynical to vote.
