44. Parking A Battleship...

Ya know I hate using that analogy but I think it fits here.

I understand your frustrations and have read many of your posts here and agree. I wish this administration had not taken up positions held by the previous regime and that the "bipartisan" games would be futile and frustrating. But I tend to be a pragmatist/cynic and know that changing a system so entrenched with corruption would be a heavy lift and met with resistance on many levels. And it has. Single payer would have been ideal but the votes weren't there...and there's the coordinated rushpublican obstructionism that's made even getting a vote to adjourn contentious. Thus the status quo is maintained as the bitter partisanship makes compromise impossible and the problems compound. The rushpublicans are hoping this would weaken President Obama but they then shot themselves in the foot by pushing Willard as their nominee.

The systemic problems in this country's political and economic systems are deep and will take a long, dedicated effort against very powerful interests. It will mean organizing and communicating on a level never seen before to counteract the billions that will be spent to futher pollute the political system. It means working from grassroots politics...re-inventing the party from the bottom up that will serve for the needs of the country in the future.

Or at least that's my dream on a Sunday morning...

Cheers...
