That people who are in constant attack mode always posting negative comments about the president, or the party, may also have a different agenda than trying to keep a democrat in the WH. Have you posted any positive remarks about the accomplishments president Obama had since he has been in office?

When anyone tries to discourage others from voting, it should make everyone stop and think about what is going on. My illusions are not being challenged. I know that politicians are not doing that great of a job for those who put them in office, but are usually doing more for those with the big money. However I also know that any chance we have at all of changing things will happen with a democrat in the WH, and a majority in congress. I also know that any republican that gets elected to the WH would be a thousand times worse than president Obama. I also know that we need more real democrats in congress, but that won't happen if voters are gullible enough to buy into the right wing meme that it's better to stay home for whatever reason, and simply not vote.

Doom and gloom works well on those can be easily scared, or discouraged. The more right wing BS that gets spewed to them, the easier it is to convince them that democrats and republicans are all alike, and there will be no difference in how they run the country. All one has to do is see how the states that are now in control of the republicans are doing, how they have been tearing apart the rights of the people in those states.

So your idea that those of us who stand up to the nay sayers, those who discourage others, and those who try and get voters on the left to NOT vote, has anything to do with our "illusions" being challenged is pure hog wash! We care about who is in charge because we know no matter what, the democrats will get more for us than any republican will. Sure it won't be everything that every single person the left wants, but it's till a hell of a lot more than we would get with republicans in charge.
