(802 posts)Who already know pushing progressive policies against the RW'er tide is futile. For now, only D's appear largely available alternative to the extremely corrupt, lobbiest-bought R's. If we can trust much of U.S. youth to see through the whitewashed rhetoric of RW loudspeakers, I trust that within a couple decades of devastating corporatist policy making, some good third-path journalism on the internet to blow the lid off these faky bills being passed that still only essentially pad the pockets of the mega-corporations.
Our youths need to be encouraged to do this stuff, put that christmas videocam to good use. Go get footage of the Ouachita river devastation caused by the GP plant (Koch owned) pollutants, for instance. Dioxins, anyone? R-style "deregulation" at it worst, in a greyish deathscape! Google those recent bills... especially since the 2010 house takeover, read, analzye just a bit-- it's all in there how hypocritical the titles of some of these are! Great journalistic fodder.
Cenk Uygur got his start just that way, in his livingroom.
Let's help our youths prove that corporate lobbying is largely destructive, polluting, devastating to the middle class and poor. It's their future, and their children's future to protect. I'm very encouraged by some of this I've seen on YouTube, getting to be the real voice of the people and swinging our congressional representation to the progressive side, the democrats only need encouragement from more progressive voices in there.
But it starts with our voices, our encouragement, our providing our youth the tools to help us critically analyze what's hidden from us on the corporate media outlets.
I can see a future congress where Democrats are finally being swung to the left by progressive third party representatives, rather than the right-swing they still being forced to by the neanderthals.
