2016 Postmortem

I'm afraid your life is going to be a terrible disappointment. You can't just hold your breath and have people beg you to start breathing again over and over... after a while they will just say go ahead. I explained how it works, not just how I want it to work. I do have some life experience in getting things done.

You want no more corporate whores... work your tail off for Movetoamend.org. It will be the biggest game changer toward what you want... and by the way, what I want. I support it. I write my congress people. Regardless, it is what it is in the mean time. Look, the second most thing you can do is to keep Dems in office so we can get rid of people like Scalia and Thomas and get people like Kagan and Sotomayer on the Supreme Court. They actually follow the constitution (for or against what you may or may not like) and they are not major activists or hang out with people that are obviously a conflict of interest. Hell, Thomas could be thrown out right now on legitimate grounds if things were different. I was rooting for Kagan and wrote letters. I wrote letters and signed petitions for Yellen for the Fed Reserve, although I am sure in your mind the fact that QE helped dramatically offset the fiscal drag the Reps are perpetrating on us, would be a bad thing since much of it helps inflate the market. Try to remember, many pension plans, 401K's (another big rip off), rely on the market to make them viable for retirement.

You want things different... work for change, don't just bitch. BTW, you never said who was your ideal candidate to get this done.
