Reply #689: Far left of the Democratic Party is a BIG voting block behind President Obama. College people,

[Sunnyshine]

Anti-war, LGBT, atheist, deist, Christian Socialist, activist, civil rights lawyers, doctors, coaches, etc... these are some of my personal friends from the far left. They are a lively and beautiful bunch filled with love for the spectrum of life.

Did you use the word "fringe" when referring to fellow Democrats? It takes all kinds- my momma said.

No one on this forum wanted, or believed that he would declare such a twisted thing.

In some moments, I do question if our President may unknowingly be compromised by, or choose the influence of-
the rigid and out dated structures that keep trickle down economics in place.

The sources of oppression are not very evident in America, because our government does a great job of hiding things. The average citizen living and working for a hard days pay- they are burdened by the inequality built into the structure of our economic policies.

Their entire lives are spent, (not lived) trying to comply with the stresses of this hamster in wheel system.
The standard of living for the average working American has not grown in decades.
They just pay their taxes and vote for the best. The poor, just get poorer.

I want to change that. I want to influence that positively as a voter and citizen of the U.S.of A.

Everyone has to take part in renewing America. We have to examine the problems at the root cause to fix the injustice.

Saying "fringe" does not diminish the value of the people and the input they have in our party.
