Meh, we continue to fail to turn out during midterms, and we keep getting our asses handed to us worse and worse each time. Even in 2012, Romney got 47-48% of the vote. And now that Republicans know that they can be as ugly as they want to as a party, and still come out ahead, there’s no going back. They just don’t stop. They shrugged off 2012 and started preparing for 2014, and we didn’t.

It’s hard as fuck to find a reason to come out when the people wanting us to reelect them/help them beat a Repub want nothing to do with the shit we put the President in office for. Grimes is a great example, where she couldn’t come out and say she voted for the man’s reelection and could not find it in herself to run on keeping the ACA. Meanwhile, McConnell’s bullshitting Kentuckians into believing that Obamacare will go by Kynect will stay somehow.
