(10,558 posts)Shooting an ally in the back? I can not imagine the real enemy disagreeing with you. Hell, I would bet there are gun manufacturers, maybe even the NRA who, would pay folks to say what you say here in this thread....and laugh at you behind your back as they count the profits you make them.
Look, let me be clear. We are losing our democracy to the corporatists. We can NOT go toe to toe with them financially to take back that democracy. Do you get that? Thanks to the corporations, we have Citizens United. Now foreign interests and even foreign governments can spend money to influence our political system. We the people don't have the cash to go up against our own billionaires much less to go up against ...oh say CHINA. We are at war and we are getting our asses handed to us. Wisconsin proved that.
But there is one thing that scares the hell out of them. American history showed the world what happens when the sleeping giant got woke up. Just imagine how things would have been if some how Japan had found a way to keep half of our citizenry at the throats of the other half of our citizenry. That clearly would have sucked for us.
America is waking up. That thing that scares the hell out of them is a united electorate at the polls. If this were not true, then why are they trying so hard to suppress the vote for so many of our citizenry? If this were not true then why are they spending so much money to keep us divided?
We need MORE folks at the polls not less or worse an electorate engaged in a civil war....fire the first shot and civil war is what you get! Stirring up the electorate to shoot at each other is the job of the corporatists, and those who blindly do their bidding.
We have been going about things half assed so far...happy with the results? I am not but the enemy corporatists are seeing record profits so.....are you with us or are you with the corporatists?
