From A Republican, And A Democrat... The System Is Broken... In Their Own Words...

35. We can't do anything about the presidential election imo, until we take care of Congress.

IF we had an actual Congress that voted FOR the people, against anything coming from ANY WH that was not in the interests of the people, the Keystone pipeline, eg, or cuts to SS, it really wouldn't matter much what the WH wanted to do, they would always be faced with a Congress that was clearly on the side of the people, passing legislation to reverse all of Bush's policies, education, war, the Patriot Act, the NSA programs, all of the garbage that is destroying this country.

The WH would have to learn, especially if it was a Democrat, that they cannot twist the arms of members of Congress who are serving the people. Now they CAN, they can threaten not to allow funding for them etc.

But spending so much time on the presidential election is a waste of time at this point. We have TWO Congressional election cycles where we can work to support the Progressive candidates and thankfully there are several Progressive Organizations working to do that finally.
