(27,670 posts)That was from what I consider one of the best posts ever posted here. Kudos go to DUer Deep13 for creating that.
While I believe it is important, and makes sense, to elect Democrats in order to make social and some environmental gains that would not be made under a republican party government, it seems obvious that both parties are obliged to maintain the status quo of 1% control over most or all world and domestic economic and military/police matters.
It just seems logical and just to create and improve maintain the best social conditions possible for the majority of people, especially minorities of all kinds, while we are in process of replacing the system with something far more beneficial to human beings and the planet than the chaotic, profit driven mess we have now.
Likewise, Democrats are always going to be better than republicans on environmental issues, another good reason to keep them in office while we are in process of replacing the system.
