    As if populist know-nothings like republicans, whipped into a mindless frenzy by parasites like murdoch and the orange mirror-licker don’t pose a clear and present danger.

    Meanwhile, those who sit their lazy asses at home on Election Day, lovingly fondling their purity then sniffing their fingers:

    So above it all, sophisticated… waiting for a charismatic messiah with a magic wand to change things and political inertia overnight, to come into their living rooms and massage their shoulders.

    No sir, that’s not thinking like medieval peasants who fancy themselves to be at the center of the goddamned universe, not at all. Everybody gets a trophy, with no effort but on one ballot they cast in 2008 and 2008 only, for Obama!

    Here’s a hint: Democrats are more government nerds, republicans are anti-science fascists. Democrats are imperfect but flexible, republicans are relentlessly greedy, hate-filled, destructive.

    It’s difficult to get positive long-term things done if non-voters keep pouting and crossing their arms, letting toxic republicans keep on goose-stepping into all our lives, with enough power to sabotage any and all positive Democrat initiatives, over and over and over again.
