Reply #15: Evolution of my thinking on the subject

[autorank]

Whether or not Coakley wins tomorrow, and I hope she does, Toto has pulled back the curtain and the Wizard of the Democratic establishment has been exposed as a little bald guy with nothing but a bunch of gizmos. Mass is a recapitulation of Virginia's governor race, 2009. The Democrats put up a ridiculous candidate and they lacked a strong national party halo due to inaction in behalf of the people. Voila, wipe out.

So ideas for the future are vital.

Here's the evolution of my thinking on this subject:

Ship of Fools, Ship of State - the Money Party at Work

Who are the officers guiding our ship of state, steering us through the troubled waters of a failed economy and two tragic and costly wars?

The Binary Fallacy and the End of Both Political Parties

The binary fallacy is the crude dialectic that assumes that the two political parties are the only choices for voters and that what's bad for one party will always be good for the other. As evidence for this, we have Nixon's Watergate scandal followed by huge Democratic victories in congressional elections. President Carter's economically distressed four years begat the Reagan revolution and so forth.

The two parties and the elitists who look down their noses on the overwhelming majority of citizens assume that the people will simply tolerate the creation of a catastrophe by one party and the perpetuation of that grave injustice to citizens by the other.

When you're broke, you know it.

When you're out of work, you know it.

When there are no jobs, you know it.

And when the country continues to fight overseas but does nothing to protect economic security at home, you know it.

The game is up. The party is over. The people have a fundamental right to survive, at the very least. If both parties continue to promote policies that leave out almost all citizens, as is now the case, there will be alternatives that look nothing like the current two political parties. The binary fallacy and the two parties that fail to address our crises will be no more. Relying solely on the failures of the opposing party while embracing their programs will soon be defunct.

Post Obama Politics - What Comes Next?

There's no way to explain this away. Obama is a failure and he can't back out of this many mistakes without losing all credibility. The Democratic Party leadership bears an equal burden. And that bipartisan coalition called The Money Party has made it perfectly clear what they think of citizens. This isn't really about Obama. The vile personal attacks leveled against him are not only wrong, they miss the point. He's just the symbol. We're in a whole new world where no one in power is doing anything for the people. That's the issue.

So what's next for political action?
