And if you'll pretend you don't know the goal of the o.p. and subsequent posts in support of the o.p., then we have nothing further to say to each other.
It's classic passive agressive behavior to skirt the rules, and a not so subtle attempt at suppression. We saw this republican enabling shit in 2000, and it's being repeated. You may choose to give it a pass if you wish, but "don't pee on my leg and tell me it's raining." |

If, as seems to be the run of the mill complaint, both parties suck equally, what are you guys doing between elections? I've got news for you & Noam, pointing fingers is not a strategy, and typing angry screeds on the internet is not activism. How many people know, or even give a shit who Noam Chomsky is?
I beg you, do something besides complaining. The tea party did it. They started small, by grooming candidates who could take over school boards, and city councils. Liberals should stop talking so much, find people who adhere to your strict ideology, who want to run under your banner, and finally put some skin in the game. Venting your spleen here does absolutely nothing in furtherance of your ultimate goal. |

playground. Many belief systems under our BIG tent. As I stated before, pissing and moaning on the internet is in no way, activism. The time to voice all the many grievances of the chronically discontent begins with organizing meetings within your local party establishment. Ever hear of bottom/up?
That's the problem I have with you guys, you pop up every four years, make a bunch of noise, and are rarely heard from in between. Why you guys think this country is clamoring for some US version of Hugo Chavez, is truly baffling, and a bit absurd. There's been no indication of that, not since Bill Clinton was in the White House. Every candidate who has run to the hard left has been, and will continue to be, soundly rejected by the rank-n-file. If "liberals" are convinced that they know what's best for all of us, why have they been unable to convince the party at large? Primaries are where we duke it out, and the last one standing always seems to be moderate/center-left. Why is that? |
