Please cheer me up.

I just had a nightmare.

The voters in this country handed over power to the plutocrats. Mittens was Pres, sort of 1979 all over again, except all our reserves are gone, we're in debt up to our eyeballs, big money owns our government lock stock and smoking barrel, and we had devolved into a parody of Idiocracy.


It's not too late. We can't be that stupid.

Right?

[villager]

1. The problem is, the plutocrats are in power *now*...

Dislodging them is going to take more than voting for one of the two officially sanctioned parties...

Alas....

[mahina]

2. But we still stand for something.

We still have a good chance, if we can get a couple more seats in the Supreme Court back.

[villager]

3. Maybe - if the DOJ under a Democratic administration will quit arguing against keeping 4th amendment

...protection, as they do now (like in the recent "strip search" debacle...)

[mahina]

4. thanks man

not really cheered up but thanks anyway

[mahina]

5. Think I'll go pick a fight somewhere

that ought to do it

lols


aloha- really

night

[UnrepentantLiberal]

11. That's not going to get Big Money out of power.

[NNN0LHI]

12. So what are you suggesting? Voting for Lyndon LaRouche perhaps?

Lyndon LaRouche doesn't belong to one of the two officially sanctioned parties.

Should we all vote for Lyndon LaRouche over President Obama?

Would that fix your plutocrat problem?

6. How many sayings are there?

A fool and his/her money are soon parted.

There's a sucker born every minute.

No One Ever Lost Money Betting On The Stupidity of the American Public.

Sorry to be a downer.

[mahina]

7. Brother, sorry to tell you,

but you kind of suck at the cheering up thing.

night.

8. We are lucky the GOP picked such a repellant man.

I'm banking on that.

[mahina]

9. Hey that is pretty good!

I'm going with that one. Every word he says comes off as smarmy and fake.

Mahalos.

[dkf]

10. Better yet his "touchstone" wife is clueless.

Hope you sleep better.

[malaise]

13. Not going to happen

[mahina]

17. Oh thank you,

big hugs back to you too sister. Or brother.

[Mister Ed]

14. This might help

Puppies always cheer me up.





In case you're feeling extra gloomy, I'll toss in a couple of bunnies.






But seriously...about the plutocracy nightmare. I find hope in this strong sense I have that people are starting to wake up, starting to recognize the beast and fight back against it. A year or two ago, there was no Occupy movement to shine a light on the plutocracy, and scarcely anyone outside of DU knew who or what ALEC was. Maybe the American Spring is imminent.

[mahina]

16. I have a huge soft spot for golden retreivers,

so thank you!


Roger too on the other points. Aloha.

[kentuck]

15. Why would something like that happen ??

Surely the voters will be inspired to get out and vote?
