(53,661 posts)He would not allow the LaRouchies (who can walk in) trash talk Obama like people online do.
Their demand was we get out of Iraq immediately, or impeach! He would not let them rant on that.
They started about single payer, which everyone knows he supported, as our entire district did. He said he and Obama had differences but that PBO is a liberal and the ACA was all we could get.
And that PBO was doing his job as POTUS just as he did his job in the HoR.
The Democratic Party is not useless. Those who don't show, don't know.
The Tea Party shows up at all community meetings and goes for every office.
They do change things for the worse. To refuse to get involved, means some
don't feel any threat.
Those of us who do feel our rights being attacked, and are dissatisfied, can not stand by and let the Tea Party run the show.
That's the choice. Give up and let them have their way, if you can afford it.
If you can't, do whatever you can to support the Democratic Party.
JMHO.
