(5,082 posts)Of course we are voting Democrat but patting yourself on the back for it is fools gold. Our cabinet level leadership has failed us as they have been co-opted by the corporations and military/industrial/surveillance/massincarceration complex. They have completely let us down and don't even try to pretend they tried anymore. The center has been moved to the right by the likes of the Clintons and their student, Obama. Thats the reason we have the looney tunes whackadoodles on the far Right now taking over the Republican party. These people feel a need to differentiate themselves culturally from those on the left and when the left acts like centrist Republicans they must move further right. These last few years have been a time out from the evil Bush regime just like Bush Sr.'s admitted buddy Bill Clinton served that very purpose in the 90s. Expect them trying to insert Jeb Bush in 2016 and Hillary is just the alternate bench player picked by Wall St and the Military contractors if they fail. Thats our big prize...and with it come polarizing opposition to counter the illusion that she is a leftist which comes in the form of more Republican House and Senate seats. We need fighters who tell the truth like Elizabeth Warren or Alan Grayson. Otherwise we are just the dog chasing its own tail. Lets hope we figure it out before its too late. A continuing Bush monarchy would come with some existential events Im sure as they have been scheming for 5 decades and longer. The Clintons are their close friends and as far as Im concerned not much different than Vichey style politics.
