In preparation for the wave of diaries to come tomorrow, I offer you this:
For Obama to win the election this fall, he needs over 70 million people to vote for him. You are not 70 million people, you are one people--I mean, one person. So if you are still going to vote for Obama anyway, it doesn't really matter, and if you aren't going to vote for him anymore, it also doesn't matter. 70 million people. It doesn't matter that you're 10000x more informed than all of those people, you still don't matter any more than they do. More informed does not mean more votes. 70 million people... that's who Obama needs. Not you.
So just sit down, shut up, and DONATE if you can. Volunteering is good too. Do that. But for crying out loud, let President Obama get those 70 million to vote for him without you cramping his style.
Peace.
