Democrats' Move to the Right Profoundly Affects our Young People and Our Future.

213. I'm reminded of a line in the movie "The American President."

The Michael Douglas character (the president) tells the Annette Bening character (a lobbyist) that an environmental bill won't pass. She replies, "How do you know until you put the full weight of the Presidency behind it?" This president didn't put the full weight of the presidency behind many of his campaign promises. Too often, he went to the negotiating table with an already compromised position. WTF, Obama? It doesn't matter if you don't have a chance of winning, you still fight for it!

Then you negotiate.

The president is a great orator & many of us mistook that as a fire in the belly to fight. We were wrong.



OTOH, perhaps the machine is such a monstrous apparatus now, as to be beyond the ability of our government to fix itself. Certainly beyond the ability of one man to change, perhaps even influence?

A lot of people are losing hope. When you keep voting for the lesser of two evils & eventually you end up eating the very shit you were voting against, you gotta wonder, who are the sheep?
