8. Its kind of a subtle idea...

What I'm saying is that if you look at the last few decades, America has been moving in a direction more and more consistent with the Libertarian party's goals (increased social liberties, increased deregulation of markets) without that party ever winning any elections. What I am implying is that there is a culture, of doing things independently which has become far more effective than petitioning leaders, since the political system has gotten more and more dysfunctional.

What I'm saying for Democratics, is that independent actions... Things like the Buycott app,

are now far more powerful than petitioning DC.
