If it’s true that, “But nobody, and I mean nobody, thinks that hectoring voters will get them to the polls.” then just why is the President using his administrations resources to further depress Democratic and liberal turnout for the mid-term elections?

Democrats Build it to Break, and Then the Republicans Make Sure it Does |

Why Should the Democrats Care if they Lose? |
| By: Nathan Aschbacher Thursday May 13, 2010 7:29 pm |
There’s often an assumption that people in different political parties, and their affiliated elected officials, are thoroughly interested in maintaining or gaining power. It’s often asserted that “we” need to send Democrats a message that if they ignore their base, they’ll get booted out of office in 2010 and beyond.
The question is, do they even care, and why should they?

How Are We Going to Move Politics Beyond Purchasing? |

It strikes me that probably the most useful, and necessary, thing that progressives –or any other political outsider– can do is to figure out very specifically how to break the dependence on Dollars to running viable campaigns.
The money game is a game we can never ultimately win.
ActBlue: Insulting my Intelligence and Asking for my Money |

ActBlue sent out a campaign email congratulating itself for the role it played in getting healthcare reform passed, and playing the story as a liberal (Democratic) victory. Being a liberal, and being aware of the completele lack of liberalism in the healthcare bill; I took issue and responded.
