Actually I was referring to Democrats in General...

Staying home in 2010. Not DU'ers. Instead of editing my post I took it down.
But hey...you all needed someone to beat up tonight, so it might as well have been me.

1. Well, you did get your ass ragged on, didn't you? So you earned your name. :)

I understood what you meant but just stayed the hell out of that thread.

2. but, you said duers. glad you meant democrats in general, but that is not what you said.

because people reacted to what you actually said, and not what you meant is really not our problem. but, thank you for the clarification.

i thought it an extreme and odd statement to make

4. FYI data shows it was independents.

The base (for both sides) showed up.

Btw, even though I showed up, I am an indie, so go ahead. I will once again show up in 2014' and vote, knowing it is fruitless. The system is rigged. I just like the exercise.

5. To you and those of similar obsession:

The actual answers are available and complex, some places had very great turnout and it might be wise to figure out how that happened while other places did not and it also might be wise to comprehend why that happened. In general it was the 'moderates' and 'independents' that failed to vote, but that's not close to accurate because all of that shit was localized, not national or regional.
So if you really care so much, go figure it all out, look at the numbers and such. Or just let it all go. There is no easy pie of blame to toss like some Keystone Kop of punditry.

8. I hear ya...

But I'm so busy on election day driving folks to the polls(every oldtimer on DU knows I do that here in North Florida)....that I just assumed folks knew I cared.

I learned my lesson here...shut up and follow the bullies.

6. Hmmm...I missed that thread.

Don't let people beat up on you.

Give them hell in return, that's my motto.

Give it back to them even harder.

9. Thanks Cali Dem !

7. Citizens United also happened in 2010.

Kinda remember that being a big part of it, particularly with regards to independents, but whatever.
