I've noticed that some Democrats seem to view elections as a horrible inconvenience, something that has to be endured like a dental appointment. They have to go out and mingle with the peons, pretend that they give a rat's ass about the poor, and break their backs trying to convince voters that they're policies are something completely different from those of the socialists.

You can practically see them grinding their teeth. It is so OBVIOUS to them that they are best suited to rule by virtue of superior brains, superior morality, and knowledge of the Truth about how it's best for the State and the elite to run things. Why do they have to keep trying to convince people they have utter contempt for that they deserve power? (Dean and the South, for example.)

Here in California, it's become obvious over several elections that the respect of the Democratic Party for the "will of the people" lasts only so long as the "will of the people" is in lockstep with their agenda.
