Here's the ONLY way to take back America from the 1%. VOTE.

[merrily]

58. To assume otherwise is self-delusion.

My statement would be surrender only if I had also said that neither voting nor anything else is the way to take the nation back from the rich. However, that is not what I said.

Can you refute the statement of my prior post, or only mischaracterize it?

As long as you claim or imply that voting (or signing internet petitions, or calling your Congressional Rep, etc) are your only tools, you are kidding yourself.

Look up some of Brooklynite's posts, for just one of the examples. He claims to be a main fundraiser for the DLC and I have seen no reason to disbelieve that. Every time he mentions recruiting new candidates, he ties it to their ability to fundraise. The ability to raise money as an unknown is most often tied to having money or hanging with people who do. And people who have money tend to hang with each other.
