Problems with the Left in the United States

[LimpingLib]

Jerome Armstrong posted a right on comment that if Labor fails to get a majority in the UK then the progressive Liberal Democrats (they used to be the center party FYI but Labor sppeeded like a bullet right so fast that the Liberal Dems are now the party of the "left")will be required to form a coalition party which will move U.K.s government policys (yes... *policys* folks is whats important not partisanship) significantly to the left.


Now look at what we are dealing with in the USA, just read the endlessly idiotic responces (see link). Nobody has a clue thats its actually a GOOD thing for the Labor (the U.K. equal to the Democratic party here) party to not get an outright majority. Its like all the idiots here who moan about Nader or lecture us about the "dream candidate" Wes Clark (talk about making the same old stale stuff fresh all over again,shesh).

Let me remind people of the Canadian election.The ruling party (similar to our Democratic party)was falling far below the 50% majority it had enjoyed in the polls. Many elite "liberals" here talked about how "bad" that was. They never considered the fact that Canadians were voting their conscience and deliverig 20% of their otes to progressive 3rd partys.Infact the 2 progressive 3rd partys nearly got as much as the GOPish conservative party , which got just 29%.The ruling Canadian "Democrat-ish" party got 36% and was forced to move sharply left in POLICY promises to form a rulig coalition with the progressive 3rd partys.



Just read the responces to see what kind of idiocy we are dealing with in this country.For no other reason than to simply let us know where we stand.

EDIT: The part where the foolishness starts to show it the "Dont get your hopes up" post. After that , no matter how many times these partisan U.S. idiots are told, they cant seem to get it through their skull that a coalition is a good thing ,infact they keep thinking he meant a Conservative-Liberal Dem coalition (SAD!), then others are "hurt" he criticised the overpaid US pollster consultants.
