A wake-up call for Dems, labor, and the left

[Dokkie]

35. This is going to be a bad Nov

if what we get of out WI is about citizen united and money. Walker could have spent $1b more and still get the same result. WE have to work on our message and policies that would actually favor the people class, people are hurting very badly and because of this are very reluctant to make investment in policies/issues that do not show a clear return. Yes they love the advances made by unions but they dont believe that those advances will disappear tomorrow if Unions disappear, this can also explain the low support for policies like net neutrality, cap and trade etc.

Now am sure nobody here believe that there isn't enough money in this world to make the wall street bailout or war on drugs or wars in the middle east or ban on prescription import(if not single payer) or all the other civil liberty stripping bills popular/unpopular and this is true because they people(majority on both sides) genuinely support/oppose them, they do not need to be sold on it.

These are policy changes you can enact tomorrow and I promise you, politicians supporting these policies wouldn't need a penny of corporate donation to win election. Do the right thing for the people and stop chasing campaign money and in case of WI, the people choose lower property taxes and tax cuts along with the benefits provided over the years by the union at a cheaper rate as opposed to higher property taxes, tax increase and the same union benefits to society.

Learn the wrong lessons and you will continue to get burned election after elections
