Makes Me Crazy Too
Extremists on both sides - really? Calling people calling Obama a Muslim Kenyan Criminal the same as wanting single payer, a VAT, and raising taxes some on people who can afford it?
In a perfect world the republicans would go the way of the Whigs, the corporate democrats like Obama and both Clintons could be the new party right of the other party, which would consist of what the late great Paul Wellstone used to call the democratic wing of the democratic party - pretty close to the way it all was pre Ronnie.
I try to hold out hope Obama might veer left some but after this, and with the knowledge he's all in on the TPP corporate coup, that hope is small.
Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
