Not sure what to think on this -- I certainly think that pandering to the GOP lost Obama the House, and will certainly risk losing the Senate. He's a bonehead for actively working to make that happen. Of course, at the same time, the GOP has become so twisted and bizarre that they seem absolutely willing to do whatever it takes to make him lose, no matter whose lives they have to destroy and who they have to crush to get their goal.
I watch a lot of people side with the GOP against Obama when these same people are being actively hurt by GOP policies. It's a shame people aren't paying attention anymore. I don't think they're stupid, but for whatever reason they get easily hoodwinked into thinking the GOP represents their interests when it clearly doesn't.
I think the Democrats seem to, for whatever reason, make themselves harder and harder to like. They let the GOP paint the narrative about them. They haven't dealt with the economic problems very well at all. They cave pre-emptively (for whatever reason). Sometimes I think they should take a page out of the GOP playbook and say "fuck 'em, we don't care what they think." instead of what they currently do. But, then we'd have 2 severely twisted parties, not just one. I'd hate to think what would happen if both major parties in the US started actively advocating war and aggressive action against the other side.
Guess we have so few enemies in the world these days that we have to invent enemies here.
Neither of the major parties represent my interests. I think neither of the parties represent the majority's interests, or the country's interests, anymore.
