The Rude Pundit: Note to Democrats: We're Freaking the Fuck Out and You're Not Helping Us Enough

[OldBaldy1701E]

49. Can't. We are still humans.

We are greedy and vain. We want to be in charge and we think only our issue is the most important.

You are correct in what you say. It is just that humans are still petty and vindictive. However, it seems like the level of community you are suggesting is all but gone around here. We have been programmed that we are the greatest thing since the invention of the wheel, and that has to be removed before we can do much of anything like you are suggesting.

Having said that...

You want the fence sitters to move? Make them. Primary anyone who is too busy with their own political survival. They are our reps. If they want the seat, defend the Constitution and the institutions. Stop letting them do anything. Even when they don't ask. Take a cue from those brave people at the USAID, who refused his flunkies entry, even though they know what is going to happen to them because of it.

Lastly, we need to remember one thing about past Democratic positions on our society. This 'high ground' crap is not going to accomplish anything. I am reminded of the old saying about the difference between the astronomer and the astronaut. One observes the heavens. The other lives in them.

Time to start living in them.
