WHOOMP, there it is.

122. You say you want a revolution welllllllll...ya know

You better free your mind instead.

Lets begin with Hillary. You will begin to hear how it has to be her 'cause no one else can beat (fill in the blank) for the Presidency. So we will all fall in line like good little drones and vote for HRC in the primaries and then in the general and hope like hell she is better than (fill in the blank). And the cycle repeats itself ad nauseam.

We all want/expect/hope that our newly elected gods will somehow respond to our wishes and we act/get so disappointed when they don't. We then spend countless hours pouring forth on why they should do this, that or the other thing we so hoped they would do without us having to yell at them to do it.

But alas and alack, our hero/heroine only disappoints and there is a strident call for new blood in the Democratic party, someone progressive and responsive. Someone we could fall enough in love with that we could give them our money and our sweat and our vote. But you need to remember, we are just schmucks to be swindled out of our cash and our vote by a party apparatus that only cares about maintaining itself and it's most favored souls.

How much of the party apparatus do you think would be willing to back say an Alan Greyson? Or maybe an Elizabeth Warren? How many of our wise old men/women of the Democratic party would be willing to step up for either one? Need i remind anyone about what happened to Ashley Judd?

Think on this, nothing increases resentment like going along because it's expected of you, or you are being told by the "adults who know better" that you should.

STOP listening to the Sunday morning pundits they don't know their ass from a hole in the ground.
STOP listening to the wise old Democratic operatives 'cause their wisdom has gone beyond the expiration date and at their core, they are working to maintain the status quo.

You want real progressive candidates? STOP giving money to any that aren't.
You want real progressive candidates? STOP giving your time and effort to those that aren't.
You want real progressive candidates? STOP voting for any that aren't.

Once we stop doing all that, THEN I think we will get somewhere.

Let the Revolution.......begin.
