(27,985 posts)I don't know what state you're in but you seem to think that the general election is the only one that matters. I, for one, care a lot about my state and local candidates. Obama isn't running again and I want more Democrats in the legislature and state seats, not fewer. Democratic apathy got us Scott Walker, Ron Johnson, gerrymandering which will hurt for a decade, and lost us Feingold. I like WI Democrats very much and will support them.
How involved with the Democratic party have you been? Do you attend local meetings? Canvas for and support the local reps that you want to be the next party leaders? Or is your involvement limited to a small annual donation and posting in the internet? I suspect deserters like you won't really be missed.
