(3,795 posts)Is it okay to bring it up for discussion?
It seems even you are agreeing that this is the reality that our nation faces. Isn't that a pretty horrible place for our nation to be?
Every time DU posters mention it, express outrage about it (which is COMPLETELY understandable), or try and increase other peoples' understanding of what is going on in this country (and we need LOTS more of this) you rebut their arguments. You seem to stand up for the status quo.
There will need to be LOTS more dissension and anger throughout America in order for a large movement to begin that even BEGINS to turn around what's been happening in this country for decades now. Things ARE getting worse financially for just about all Americans (on average). I won't make excuses for it, and I won't behave helplessly while things are obviously corrupt and rotten within the Halls of Power.
And, if Obama were solidly left he would not have put so many Republicans and conservative Democrats that further right-wing economic and foreign-policy objectives in his Cabinet.
Our government has been owned for decades so anger and frustration being expressed shouldn't be mocked or ridiculed. It should be empathized with and understood. What's been happening in D.C. is NOT OKAY, and I'll be damned if I argue on behalf of the many corrupt actors that operate within it.
