I despise Democrats (most of them), but the alternative is so much worse, and even the ones I like are pretty flawed. I liked a lot of stuff about Obama, and dislike a lot of stuff about him and the stuff I dislike is fairly major, but he was still one of the better presidents we've had as a country.

America is a deeply flawed country, and is getting worse but it's not because we elected to many Democrats. With the current state of Republicans voting or not voting in a way that will give them more seats at the table is actively making this country worse. Vote with your heart and mind in primaries, vote with your mind in the real election, and most importantly vote. We cannot shift left of people refuse to vote, the right votes, the selfish center votes, the people who want the country to be to the left don't unless they are passionate of about the politician. We can't shift left until the left voting block is respected because they will vote every time.

Democrats and Republicans are not the same even if Democrats suck.
