Reply #111: Reasons I am moving

[NurseLefty]

1. * re-elected, in spite of his laundry list of crimes
2. Substantial republican majorities in House and Senate
3. As a result of 1 and 2, * will go unpunished/unimpeached, republicans will rubber stamp their agenda through, and will confirm Supreme and other justices who will warp our judiciary beyond my lifetime
4. Redistricting and other efforts are helping more republicans get elected at state levels
5. Democratic leadership is NON-EXISTENT in the wake of the election catastrophe, the Dems are so factioned that I doubt we can reunite again (sorry)
6. 1,2,3, and 4 will continue to happen with the support of the wealthy, corporate America, sympathetic corporate media, and the fundamentalists who are their grassroots footsoldiers.
7. It will take something beyond comprehension to educate the Wal-Mart Nation. As long as people shut themselves off from the world, stay in their insular consumer culture, they will remain sheep for *
8. Healthcare will implode in the US in the next few years
9. I want to be in a progressive, truly functioning democracy in my lifetime
10. I want to give my skills and efforts to a society that values what I do
11. I want my tax dollars to benefit my society and not a war machine
12. I want to live with TRUE freedom and in a JUST society

I could go on, but I think I've made my point.
