(13,986 posts)You are projecting your anger onto me. Not accurately, not appropriately, not rationally. Just blowing a semi-articulate screed at those who are not in 100% agreement with you, and by so doing alienating people of good will who could be your allies.
That is why I pay scant attention to such arguments. Because at the end of the day, nothing is good enough, nothing is pure enough, and even if someone could meet the expectations set out...why, the expectations would be raised anyway.
Obama was not my first choice. None of the Dems that ran were after Kooch dropped out. But he is a fuck of a lot better than the alternatives presented at the time.
Don't like it? Present a better choice. Not an externalized vision , but an actual candidate who does and will continue to meet your standards.
