Based On The Turn Of Events You Would Think That Mitt Won The Election.

The GOP is still running the place thanks to the gerrymandered districts. And there is not much Obama can do about it.

The GOP is still putting in the GOP Romney platform on just about every issue.

distancing themselves from the word liberal, because a two bit actor poked fun at it. They should have embraced the word & said, "Fuckin' A we're liberal & here's why!" Instead, they backed away from the word & soon enough, the policies, as well. What we have now is a democratic party that many of us don't even recognize.

Why don't the dems talk about gerrymandering? Why don't they discuss money in politics? Why are they silent on issues that could change the status quo?

Waiting for the "Mitt Romney would be worse" crowd. Like Mitt Romney should be the standard we that we better.
