Nice rant
You've listed a lot of the grievances we progressives have against the administration. I don't argue with a thing you've said. All your questions are ones I have.
Yes it's the corporate agenda that is in control. We are bought. I don't advocate circling any wagons around the corruption. The exact opposite. I advocate shining a laser beam on it.
I don't understand why you are dissing me exactly. I think you misinterpreted. We are on the same page. It's no surprise to me that Obama hasn't pulled off any miracles--but I think a lot of people --supporters-- expected him to. I would have been surprised if he WAS able to turn anything around all that much--that's how pessimistic I am. I don't think we have democracy in America. We didn't before him and we don't now.
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.
