Maybe that's because the country has always liked a split government. Funny how people complain about "partisan bickering" and then keep voting for a split government. Wake up America!

(290 posts)It was subtle, but it was referenced throughout the convention. The choice includes VOTING Democrat all down the ticket - which includes local elections for Congress and Senate. It was most apparent in President Obama's speech
It is absolutely critical to vote during your local elections even during non-presidential elections. That's how the Tea Party snuck in. In some states, voter turnout was so low, that the Tea Party slid right into those spots. Now we have to be diligent and vote them OUT.

(130,895 posts)Hoped POTUS or FLOTUS, or a strong surrogate, would have mentioned it affirmatively, but too much to wish for I guess.
I think its silly to suggest country 'likes' split government. Not so thoughtful, I suspect. People tend to like their congresspeople/senators, and only pay attention to POTUS every 4 years when a big deal is made.

(96 posts)Sadly the democrats squandered it and looked for excuses. Yes, i understand both parties are corrupt and are beholden to big money but at least if they had put on more of a genuine face that would have been nice.
So i am not as motivated to push this. I am donating to Elizabeth Warren though because she is one of the few that i DO Believe.

(2,479 posts)I was looking for that one earlier. Thanks.

(2,500 posts)That would be terrific. Donation made. Made a donation to DCCC earlier today as well. Let's keep at it and put on a fullcourt press.

Doctor_J
(36,392 posts)he pissed it away. He had 58 Dem Senators and 259 House members. No matter what, the numbers will be smaller in the next Congress. I'll contributing to, and walking and voting for the president, but I'm not deluded enough to think he'll do anything earth-shattering. I will be sending cash to a few particularly good candidates like Warren and Duckworth and Grayson, but the appeasers aren't getting any of my hard-earned money.
elleng
(130,895 posts)I would consider all-out assault on public schools pretty earth-shattering, but that's happening.
Thank you for this!

Democratic Party Motivational Song
Say it loud: Democrat and Im proud!
Say it loud: Democrat and Im proud!
Say it loud: Democrat and Im proud!
Say it loud: Democrat and Im proud!
We have arguments about pro-life and pro-choice
It my belief that every woman should have her own voice
Some people say that Im a liberal because I look ahead and not behind
Because I welcome new ideas and try to be gentle and kind
Say it loud: Democrat and Im proud!
Say it loud: Democrat and Im proud!
Say it loud: Democrat and Im proud!
Say it loud: Democrat and Im proud!
Dont say Im not a Christian because I dont do as you do
Dont decide what is good for me and I wont decide what is good for you
Most democrats believe in God and try to do as he commands
It is not your position to decide where we stand
Say it loud: Democrat and Im proud!
Say it loud: Democrat and Im proud!
Say it loud: Democrat and Im proud!
Say it loud: Democrat and Im proud!
Some criticize me because I have different ideology
But Im also a loyal American and I make no apology
I will work hard and Im hell bent
To elect a democrat as our next president
A proud democrat, loyal American, well educated and motivated
I will stand up for my beliefs and will not be intimidated
I hear many in the GOP say we need to take our country back
Well, this country belongs to me too, and that is a simple fact
Say it loud: Democrat and Im proud!
Say it loud: Democrat and Im proud!
Say it loud: Democrat and Im proud!
Say it loud: Democrat and Im proud!
(I'm convinced we can work through the stalemate
I believe in compromise and I'm not driven by hate)
