"Fed up with Wall Street, Democrats look to the left"

33. Good post

I would love to see more members of congress like Warren, Sanders, Brown, and Merkley. What we need to do is start finding these kind of people to run for office. Start making sure the local and state elections are not taken over by teapublicans, and do all we can to get the kind of leaders we need into office.

The one think I can't see working out for anyone is if people sit home and don't get out to vote in the next two elections. We can not afford to have more states taken over by teapublicans, nor can we afford to get more of them in congress, and we sure as hell can't afford them in the WH. Some seem to think that letting the crazies run things for awhile will wake up the democratic party, make them change, etc. It might, but would letting teapublicans control congress next year really help things get better? Would letting a teapublican into the WH help us get a supreme court that would work for the people instead of the rich and their corporate masters?

Now I am open to suggestions on what can be done to change things, but we let a "crazy" person in the WH with George W. Bush, and we let the "crazies" into congress in 2010, and look at what happened. Do we really want to try that tactic again?
