re: #220 Higgs Boson’s Mate

We must continue to vote for these Democrats because, because, because…

Because anything passed after January 4, 2015 would be worse? I assume that’s the WH’s thinking.

I find myself thinking back to one of the things Michelle Obama said in the 2008 campaign, that the Right tried to make hay out of, which is that Barack wasn’t going to give everybody anything, that we’d have to work hard for it.

Well, honestly, a lot of folks who voted for him didn’t listen and didn’t want to do that work, even something as small as voting. Or maybe he didn’t give them a pony, or they think Edward Snowden should be given a tickertape parade instead of threatened with prosecution, or some damned thing.

They didn’t care enough to VOTE, in 2010 or 2014, and so we end up with this. Obama said that all those who DIDN’T vote, he had also heard. It must be really hard to give a fuck for them. They get the government they deserve. If only they didn’t drag the rest of us along with their fucking apathy.
