(348 posts)I will say you are right 100 percent.
I also will mention that I spent almost 20 years working in the political field beginning as a volunteer, working for the UFW and other orgs as the dreaded community organizer, through running my own business as a campaign manager to even running for the State Assembly. When I was done with my own campaign, I was done. I was so turned off and disgusted by how the Dems would just turn on one another and let the less popular GOP candidate waltz through to victory. I saw it too many times and it still happens.
That's why I live nestled in a small (less than 1000 people) mountain town in northern California in the summer and a sailboat in the Caribbean in the winter. I will still support, argue and vote Democratic, but I no longer put myself out there no matter the people who have asked me to jump back into it.
