In reply to your Nader comment:
If you had the tenacity (or boredom), you could find a few comments of mine where I theorize how a goper-bagg
er would be a blessing to Dems. The problem with many Dems isn't just a quirky miscommuni
cation tradition. It's a terror of taking a stand. Showing people the dots and not connecting them isn't a gaff, it's a defect. It's spinelessn
ess.
The defect is common because the entrenched operatives (the rahm emanuels, carville's
, shrums, penns, etc.) want them. Maybe they're easy to manipulate
, maybe they're less of a threat to their status in the Party, maybe the reason why is more sinister - I don't know. All I know is, the type of corporate-
appealing, double talking, jellyfish candidates the national party prefers will stay the trend until something spectacula
rly destructiv
e occurs - a full-on depression
, wall street implodes, constituti
onal congress is legally called, mass uprising (are we seeing that begin now?), whatever.
Something needs to occur that shakes the Democratic Party right to the ground. Something so shocking that Dems and issue-Dems start supporting disruptive
, courageous candidates (I thought Obama was, but he's not) over the endorsed ones.
Until then, corporate welfare will continue to siphon all the worlds money to the top 1% and the slow march to that inevitable
, spectacula
r demise will continue unabated. As I see it, sooner or later, we're going to meet the bottom of the canyon. I prefer sooner so we can rebuild sooner.
