CUT THE CRAP! Your Month in Review from the most "progressive" administration ever.

[merrily]

366. We have too many parties, not too few. I think we have at least 23 parties to the left of Democrats,

and that's only national parties.

One problem is that the system is rigged by law and by the willing of Republicans and Democrats to cooperate with each other to keep it rigged, both by law and by power, as when they tell a network they won't appear on that network for a national debate if others are allowed to participate.

Another part of the problem is that so many Democrats vote out of fear that their vote will help elect a Republican, rather than voting FOR a candidate. Fear driven, learned helplessness.

Another is the unwillingness of many Democrats to volunteer for and donate to any political party.

Another is that those to the left of Democrats have so many ideas about what they should do about being to the left of Democrats, from not voting at all, to voting only Communist, to starting a new party for a single issue, etc. It's worse than herding cats because you can't even get them all in one meeting to try to herd them.

But, I will not give up.
