I'm tired of moderation.
I'm sorry I can't hold my feelings back anymore, I know I'll get destroyed in the comment section but I don't care. Barack Obama as sold out the left pure and simple. I feel like I've been living on another planet since election day. I don't feel like a democrat won the election at all, it's like a moderate republican just got elected. When you have republicans dancing on the street over Barack Obama's cabinet you know there's something seriously wrong. Been bipartisan is all well and good but fuck sakes we democrats won the election and we need to start acting like it.
I'm very disillusioned right now, maybe it's too early to start worrying because Obama isn't President yet but I'm truly disappointed with the way things seem to be shaping up. I and many friends worked our butts off making calls during the presidential campaign, we didn't put in all that work to see Progressives or the Progressive agenda shove to the side just to please the scumbags in the republican party.
Does anyone on this site believe if a Republican had been elected president there would have been this many concessions to us democrats? This is something we've wanted for eight years since Bush and the Supremes stole Florida. And to see that eight years of struggle seems to be all for not is truly irritating. Clinton fell into the same trap Obama is falling into, playing nice to be called a so called moderate. Clinton as no lasting achievements for playing that game, if Obama wants to fade away in memory as a not so great president he can continue with this moderate bullshit.
But I'll say it loud and clear I would regret the day I ever voted for him forever.
