What Atrios Said

by digby

I have often wondered about this myself:

I … don’t think the fortunes of Obama and Democrats depend much on how loudly I clap. More than that, if the volume of my clapping is that important then people should be spending a bit more time and money ensuring that I’ve got an adequate supply of hand lotion to keep my hands in peak clapping form.

I would certainly think that if liberal cheerleading is valuable they would at least refrain from using liberals as a doormat every time they want to appease some conservadem princeling. Depending on supporters’ masochism probably isn’t a great strategy.

And any adult should know that angrily exhorting someone to love you doesn’t actually work.
