Have you sent money to the Obama campaign and encouraged others to do so, LW? I wish you would. I don't think you can possibly have any idea what this election means to us. We're scared just like you, only we live here, which means we're also distraught because in many cases, the people we have to defeat are our own parents and the people we grew up with. The stakes of this election are so high that in context,your letter sounds a little like some rich person complaining about having to drive through the ghetto to get to his/her $5m. mansion. You think watching this shit on television is bad? Try living with it every day. If you are so upset about our catastrophic state of affairs, maybe you should take it as a signal that it's time to join the fight.
