I'm not calling for any kind of uprising or revolt or progressive primary. I know it's futile and that the Democratic party powers that be would never let it happen.

And like a chump I'll probably still always vote a straight dem ticket.

But I'm done expending any degree of energy. No more money donations to political parties or candidates. No more stuffing of letters or making calls or registering voters or driving people to polls or even engaging in political discussions to try and make people see my side or how the Democratic party is good for them. No more responding to chain e-mails with falsehoods, or facebook posts or any of it.

I'm done wasting an ounce of my time, energy, or money on a party that acts and goes about things as the Democratic party (and Obama in particular) has.
