16. Maybe voters DO understand things. Maybe they aren't the morons you take them to be.
Maybe they understand that only a fool keeps voting for a party that doesn't deliver on what they promise, especially on the issues that matter most to them.

You say we need to educate the moronic public on why they should vote. I say they understand better than you that there isn't a good reason to vote if Democrats never deliver no matter how big their majority is. Democratic leaders in Congress are doing a great job of proving to millions that their vote DOESN'T matter.

I think you're completely out of touch if you underestimate how many young people there are watching for climate change legislation. Way, way out of touch. Obama was the first Presidential nominee in a generation that made issues young people care most about, like climate change, a major theme in his campaign. They responded in large numbers. There's really no good reason they should vote in 2010 if they don't get what they voted for. You really give credibility to the phrase "liberal elitist."
