26. Nothing is possible when it is quietly and deliberately taken off the table.

It was a perfect opportunity to exert pressure and move the national conversation leftward.

Corporate Democrats do not hesitate to join complaints about how about Republicans use relentless repetition and Fox News brainwashing to perpetuate their lies and move the national consciousness rightward, but let a real Democrat suggest that our politicians make a sustained effort to COUNTER the lies and advocate publicly for policies that would actually help people, and the whining and scolding begin about "not possible."

Our President and corporate Democrats make soaring speeches about the need to eat austerity peas or spy on the entire US population. However, they cannot seem to muster the will to passionately advocate a policy that will actually help Americans...EVEN when they already control the Presidency and half of Congress, and EVEN when the country clearly supports the policy and could be rallied behind it.

We didn't hear about it BECAUSE the country supported it. That is the sad, ugly truth.
