Obama wins right to indefinitely detain Americans under NDAA

[woo me with science]

66. Thank you. What too many Democrats don't get

is that the absence of other challengers doesn't just hurt the potential challengers; it keeps our OWN party from being responsive to us.

When the only other guy running is corporate, too, there is no pressure to appeal or respond to voters beyond the corporate agenda, because there is nowhere else those voters can possibly go.

Look at what is happening now. We have two candidates. BOTH will steal Social Security and impose austerity. BOTH will expand the police state and the wars. Both support indefinite detention and warrantless surveillance. BOTH will corporatize education.

The one percent have succeeded in narrowing the scope of debate and the policy options presented to Americans so much, that Americans forget what IS possible and what the Democratic Party used to stand for.

We desperately need reform of the system. Thank you for your post.
