(99 posts)Do you want to win elections or just whine about some of what goes on politically that offends your sensibilities. You can push Dems to change policies for the better... can you say that about Reps? Please, give me the strategy... what do you do in the face of Citizen's United? Do you really think in this environment that a populist movement without funding can carry the day? Be realistic. Who do you think is more likely to overturn Citizen's United (granted it will take a lot of hard work, but doable), restore voting rights, improve the economy (you are aware that it is Reps that always run up debt and Dems who pay it off), work toward fairness for all, etc. etc? Let me think, does that sound like a Dem or a Rep?
Sorry you don't get everything you want or what it takes to get the right things done. I am more interested in winning for change for the better, not the crash and burn economy that only ends up making the rich richer since they are the only with money to invest in a bad downturn and voila massive returns when the economy turns around. How do you think we got here doing this over and over again since they fooled the people in the 80's? Because, IMO, people like you did not show up and vote. Politics is a lot harder than the simplistic points you are upset about. Also, for the most part not true... I do not hear "harping" and I do not believe he favors CPI over FICA caps... you seem to be extrapolating your point of view.
