(1,650 posts)change. which the party desperately needs. And racism.
Change? Something has to change. Everyone knows it. Look at the last decade. We've failed horrendously. Now, progressive democrats are fighting with establishment democrats over which way the party is going to be run. I expect to see many bumps in the road, and this post is a good example. In addition, money is now in control of both parties. Until something changes with Citizens United, this country will be continue to be bought by the highest buyer with the biggest mouth. Democrats have a lot on the line again, and it will most likely take many, many elections in order for us to make the decision of how the party will move forward.
Racism? Yes, believe it or not, racism still exists in this country. As many have said right after 911, 911 changed everything. It's still true to this day. Gillibrand just proved it. I have no answer on how to address this, especially coming from the democrats. They are the only party about "the people" as far as I can see. So it's sad seeing her racism in public display.
I expect more upsets in the election processes coming up. People are fed up. People are finally starting to see it's time to start taking care of the people, not the corporations. Housing, Healthcare, Education, etc.....
These are very strange times we live in. And now the corruption is in plain view for all to see. Nobody seems to gives a shit anymore. I NEVER thought I would witness what is going on. As of today, I am "All shocked out"!!! Today's Supreme Court disappointing decisions says it all.
This current situation needs to change in next years election. The only way to do it is quite simple. Win elections. 2026!!!!
I can't wait to see the democrats jump start their party. Yesterday would have been fine.
