After listening to Obama's statement on the midterms, it seems like this is the situation he wanted

[woo me with science]

108. IMO the good news is that people *are* waking up.

We all do it in our own time. There's great woe over the low voting turnout, but I choose to take it as a sign that people are realizing that the game is rigged...and that's a good thing (not the low turnout itself, but the awareness...).

People just don't know yet what to *do* about it. But becoming aware of it is an important step.

The propaganda machine tries very hard to make the conversation all about Obama himself or Obama haters, or "timid" Dems, or lazy voters....ANYTHING to keep the conversation away from the real groundbreaking realization we all need to come to, which is that the parties are purchased and working together now for corporate interests.

Once sufficient numbers of us realize that....can see through the propaganda and realize that the game has changed and the goals of our politicians aren't what they keep telling us they are....we can start uniting to rally around policies rather than parties and rid ourselves of this con game.
