Related: About this forumBill Maher Smacks Dems: Stop Being 'Wimps'!
VIDEO with better 'audio' here: http://www.mediaite.com/tv/maher-smacks-dems-stand-your-ground-and-stop-being-wimps/
Bill Maher ended his show Friday night with a plea for Democrats to stop feebly going along with the Republicans and stand your ground on issues like Obamacare instead of going Yeah, sucks to be us right now and lamely apologizing for everything like a husband who says of his wife, Shes not perfect, but its better than masturbating alone!

(8,377 posts)3. "Dems might want to say what they are proposing to do for America"
Here is a starting point. Every Democrat should be able to support these 9 simple points.
The sad reality is that most national Dems are so far into the Republican camp they will not even work for these things that each have 70-80% support among the American public.

sentiments. Instead they are fast tracking new trade agreements to send jobs we currently give to India, to Vietnam instead.
Oh right, we also need to double the number of H1Bs as well because our kids are to busy literally killing themselves learning ARNE DUNCAN'S FUCKED UP COMMON CORE instead of developing skills that employers have in demand.

That last point was painfully true.
