(3,818 posts)to have infiltrated the Democratic party and we have to find another one. Unfortunately, things work slower on the macro, rather than the micro, hence the years of lawsuits wending its way through the court system. We are all living through some kinda sorta karmic event and its going to be a bit to get there, especially their side not giving an inch on inches.
I know you younger folks get tired of us older ones waxing nostalgic about how "things used to be," but I will tell you one thing - I never saw an adult rag and bitch and moan about politics until I was 30. I never really knew if it was because people agree with Reagan's policies or for some reason to scared to voice them. I sure didn't, Everybody knew I detested him fiercely. Both most likely.
But there was some level of respect and actually being heard on topics. You used to could walk up to them in public and actually have more than a hi, nice to meet cha. Now, it is the T word just for coughing at the wrong time when they have a "town hall" meeting.
There are too many of us out here rumbling and shaking and talking about we do know what is going on and what are we going to do about it? An absolute non-violent leadership with more structure than Occupy. Great idea wrong execution on the leaderless voicing of manifesto's (or whatever), simply due to timing. A natural leader would/should have grown organically out of the group and would have body count to stand up behind them. Somebody the grandma's and grandpa's would be proud to support because they remind them of young Sally or Billy, but again, media (corporate control) controlled the message the entire time.
Wrest back control of the Democratic Party, because unfortunately in this paradigm today, we need them for a bit longer. When that structure dies so will the dying breath of the GOP. They need party structure and we only have to play along longer and then fuck 'em. Age parameters alone will ensure that most of them have passed or are passing. Nobodies feelings to get hurt.
