29. They won't save us because they no longer represent our interests.
They represent the corporations, and will vote to enrich the corporations and their owners to the detriment of we, the people, of the earth -- of life itself.

Every now and again they pay some lip service to the things that matter to the people, then back down the minute the Pukes stand up and growl.

I suppose if one must choose between fast death and slow death you choose slow death so as to live another day, and because hope dies last.

But take a good look at what is happening in Congress right now and tell me whose interests our elected representatives actually represent.

This is total class war, with a pretense of a two-party system. The only chance we have is to reform our party, and we are not going to accomplish that in a couple of election cycles.
