(1,867 posts)Is that people are finally waking up to the fact that there IS NO left and right, there are NOT 2 separate parties, there is ONE group of politicians who do everything in their power to keep us fighting amongst ourselves so we ignore that ALL of them, EVERY LAST GD ONE OF THEM is colluding with the money power in this country to make the rich richer and the poor poorer, and regardless of the small fraction of obamacare that "provides healthcare to millions" (i.e. mandates heathcare under threat of penalty) the law is, and pretty much always has been, about subsidizing the insurance industry by appearing to funnel the money through the citizens. Critical illness will still bankrupt anyone who gets it and nothing really changed about the crippling ACTUAL cost of our healthcare system.
DO not listen to anyone's rhetoric on EITHER side. NONE of them have our best wishes at heart, and all of them would screw us, even those who voted for them, if it puts money in their pocket.
Obama is no different. He got his office on pomp and circumstance and immediately started playing the power money game, all while feeding EVEN MORE into the distraction of divisive politics.
NONE of them are to be trusted, NONE of them have our best interests at heart.
The only reason this SEEMED to not be true from 2001-2008 is that we had a true and very obvious political enemy who was not only killing the country, but waging un-necessary wars that were doing nothing but killing people with zero purpose. Now the veil has been drawn, we can see them ALL for who they are, and so help me god, it will very soon be necessary for some kind of political purge in this country.
Implying that somehow, just because we are on the DU we are REQUIRED to back the president is the same kind of controlling bullshit the right pulled for 8 years under Bush, and it will not stand here.
