I've been so disillusioned with politics lately. [View All]

I'm so disillusioned with politics, folks. The crap in GD is simply unbearable. Even with the new rules, it still seems terrible. I want to get Bush out of office in 2004 as much as anyone here, but I really don't know if I can take all of this. I already feel hated by a lot of people here, and I've only been here a week. I've made a few friends, but not many. This isn't the way it's supposed to be. :cry: Maybe I should just stop whining, but I sense that other people feel the way I do, too.

Before finding DU, I would help out on local campaigns sometimes, I would make calls, and I would vote in November. I feel like if I go back to that, even with voting in the Democratic primary, and voting in the 04 general election, that it won't be enough. I feel like if I don't do my fair share and Bush wins in 04, that it will be my fault. I wouldn't have made enough phone calls, or put enough signs down, or gotten enough people to the polls, and because of that Bush won.

I feel like if I go back to my status quo and simply vote, that it won't be enough. I sense that I'm rambling here, but I just don't feel that I'm making a difference. Not just on here, but in the world. Am I wrong? Maybe I have more problems than I think. I feel like maybe I should leave, because I don't think I'm helping. Would people hate me if I stayed? Would people hate me if I left?
