Will the Democratic Turnout Machine Be Effective in the 2014 Midterm Elections?

[SteamKing]

Those aides are not helping the President or his party. "The people are wrong to be unhappy" is on the one hand, incredibly patronizing, and on the other not likely to convince voters that the President or his party will change direction from the one they are unhappy with.

A lot like the dissatisfaction which the government of the DDR (East Germany) felt after the uprising of 17 June 1953, as expressed in a Brecht poem:

The Solution

After the uprising of the 17th of June
The Secretary of the Writers' Union
Had leaflets distributed in the Stalinallee
Stating that the people
Had forfeited the confidence of the government
And could win it back only
By redoubled efforts. Would it not be easier
In that case for the government
To dissolve the people
And elect another?
