Don't be discouraged. The bitching and griping is constant. Mostly it results in no shows during off year elections. Encourage your Republican friends. Listen patiently while Democrats blow off steam. Add to their pessimism and negativity if you feel Machiavelian. Don't argue with them, that encourages them to turn out.
There's a big difference between griping and bitching and going down to the polls, standing in line in the rain or snow and pulling the lever for the DemonRATs.
Hang in there, we'll euchre 'em.
I disagree. Add to their pessimism and negativity if you feel Machiavelian. just for the pure enjoyment of it. :=)
