Which stage of mourning is the ABB movement in this week? Anger? More denial? The arguments for further participation in the electoral process are more hollow than ever. Am I the only leftist here who rolls his/her eyes when I hear ABB liberals scream about how evil the second term of Bush II will be? If you folks really think that Bush II Part II is going to be that terrible, why aren't you in the fucking streets like they were in the Ukraine? Otherwise, some of us are just going to laugh in your faces. The Democrats = the Republicans. That should be abundantly obvious by now.
Is it going to be revolution or more Moveon whine and cheese parties?
