Okay, Democrats, This Is How It Is

Suppose you're a foster child, from an extremely abusive household. Suppose you end up with nice foster parents, who nevertheless believe in communication and peace. Suppose, because of that, they asked the advice of the abusers on parenting, even inviting them, allowing abuse while scolding about it, thinking maybe they can compromise, and asking the child to be patient. What do you think would happen to the kid? Well, what's happening to you right now?

I and millions of others put you in office to fix this country. To get healthcare passed. To fix the economy. To get us out of Afghanistan and Iraq. We gave you the biggest majority Democrats have had in two generations at least, which, if you were Republicans, would be enough tools for the job.

And what have you done with it? Nothing. What has Obama done? Accepted a fucking Nobel for just being.

This is what I will do. I expect many others will too: since the GOP will be in power no matter what vote I cast, I'll just start throwing it down a rathole and voting a third party candidate. Because if my vote is to not matter, it might as well have a personal meaning.

Because you don't care about those who voted for you, Barack Obama. You rush to help Wall Street. But you do nothing for the rest of us. We gave you a supermajority because that way the GOP couldn't stop you. What did you do? Wasted it placating the GOP, who responded with scorn. You play their game, and they win. Fine. You're not my candidate. You don't represent me. You do not represent hope, or change, or anything whatsoever. You are an empty suit and not even a good symbol. You care more about the opinion of your enemies than your friends.

I have given you a year, Obama. And you did nothing. Fuck. You. You are now a symbol of the fact nothing ever, ever changes.

Labels: bastards, obama, you're pathetic
