Now, I am beginning to think let the Repukes take it. Americans may need to see what a decade or two of Ayn Rand doctirine would really do. Thirty years of being fed pabulm from RW media has dumbed the population down.
Maybe a few years of starvation in the streets from neglect might wake the American populace up to what the Repukes policies really are. As it is currently, it's a slow death by a thousand paper cuts. Seeing our rights, our economy slowly sliced to bits. All the while hearing things hearing like how great this glorious resurgance of jobs are. Which are in reality low-paying wage-slave jobs. Nothing close to what we once had pre-NAFTA.
The Democratic Party is subverted by 3rd way. It has gone from the party of progressive ideas, to a party just trying to mitigate the GOP's spewing of policies that would kill people.
Not to mention it's embrace of 3rd way policies that are equally bad. Now we hear cries that Hillary will save us, echo up and down the halls.
When it was Clinton I, who brought NAFTA into being.
Since then we have lost 94,000 factories, seen Detroit become the petrie dish of Ayn Rand in action, and a precousor to what will happen to the rest of the nation.
And all through this I am supposed to cheer Hillary on and vote faithfully for her, because of the fear of what a crazed right winger will do.
I am at the point I'd be happy if Nero took power. Maybe the flames would rouse Americans out of their lazyboys and do something besides drool.
