The Shutdown Is Republicans' Fault--So Why Are Voters Mad at Democrats?

7. You shouldn't need someone to "generate enthusiasm" in you to stop fascism.

But while we are pointing fingers, Stewart and our other supposed allies on the left that have peddled that """both sides""" bullshit are much more responsible for where we find ourselves today than Chuck Schumer's lack of enthusiasm.

And I'm sorry, when the fuck have we had a Senate minority leader that """generated enthusiasm?""" Harry Reid? Tom Daschle?
