I Would Like a Democratic Socialist Government in the U.S.

[rhett o rick]

46. Yes we have gotten some little progress in the areas of social issues,

but my concern is that while we are being placated on one hand with small gains, on the other hand the Oligarchs are stealing all our resources as fast as they can. The middle class is like the Titanic going down. It's cool if we can partake of a reefer and see same sex marriages, but the ship is going to sink. The Oligarchs are not stupid. Greedy but not stupid. And, while they like Republicans best, they also like Conservative Democrats. Oligarchy knows no Party.

I too vote for Democrats, but that's not good enough. Some Democrats betrayed us when George Bush the Dim-Son wanted to go to war. They participated in a decision that not only saw the deaths of many, the destruction of Iraq, but also deliver a fatal blow to our economy and democracy. Some democrats today side with the Oligarchs and want to allow fricking-fracking to destroy our ground water. And don't forget NAFTA, WTO, and now the Trans-Pacific Partnership.

Voting for Democrats isn't good enough to save us. We have to decide now that we aren't going to allow H. Clinton-Sachs to be our president. If you didn't like the turnout last Tuesday, wait until you have Oligarch Thing 1 vs. Oligarch Thing 2 as our choices.

The middle class frog is in the pot with the temperature increasing. Will our choices in 2016 be Jeb Bush the "I'm the 'not quite so stupid'" son, who wants to turn the temperature to high, or H. Clinton-Sachs who promises only to turn the temperature up to medium?
We must decide now that we are not going to settle for boiling on medium. We must find someone that will help us get out of the pot. Then the American people might pay attention.
