44. Why Do We Blame Republicans? Its the Democrats Fault For Not Inspiring Me...

...to get off my butt and away from my keyboard to do something besides complaining in this safe space about the lack of leadership by the Democrats! If Democrats really show some leadership, i would be filled with righteous energy and would show up local city councils or school boards and complain like you see right wingers doing when they try to convince people to adopt their views.

However, I am not doing this. I just complain on liberal boards like this about the lack of leadership by Democratic elected officials. And you know whose fault is that? Democrats.
