(26,314 posts)corporate influence and capture of our government rolls on assertively, the security state is way overgrown and out of hand, and we are in a state of never ending war against a tactic for starters and Secretary Clinton in a generation as a major player has dangerously failed to illustrate that she would push in a different direction.
I'm afraid our party is terminal as a real vehicle for the advancement of the needs and interests of regular people.
Fear is nature's alarm bell. To be contented with the track we are on is to be delusional. We should not have wasted these last years trying to play partners with entropy and chasing phantoms, it has not served us well and price upon price will be paid for it.
More of the same should be scary to anyone because it has to be obvious that we are not going to get to escape velocity from problems of the scope we have now and any smidgen of a move to more corporate friendly and enabling, more itchy for war (forget the Iraq vote for a moment...she was just talking about "obliterating" Iran in 2008) or even an iota less concerned about the environment is not something to be gambled with to me.
I think too many folks have lost their minds, there is no way to look at conditions and project trends and pretend that all is well or that we are even presenting solutions to work toward.
