Reply #8: I just hate feeling like this... [View All]

like it isn't worth it. Like the people we are working to help not only don't care, but they seem to go out and actively work against us and against their own best interests.

The person who may no longer be my friend is a perfect example. He got out of college with an MIS degree right after the tech bubble burst. He has been job hunting for a year and a half with no luck. He's a relatively intelligent human being. Yet he cannot seem to make the connection between the rethugs and the economy being in the toilet. He'll go out in 2004 and vote for shrub contrary to his own interests and I do not understand for the life of me why. He's not a fundy christian. He's not a right-winger particularly even. He's just an idiot I guess. *sigh*

Some days it just feels like the people in this country don't deserve the democracy we're fighting so hard to protect for them. I'm weeping for my country today.
