Reply #39: "No specifics", you say. Looked in a mirror lately?

And your "plan to bring about actual change" is wonderful - if you want Rethugs in the White House in 2013 and beyond.
If you actually think for one nanosecond your "plan" can actually accomplish anything beyond putting this country back in Rethug hands, you're even more delusional than the average teabagger. And you claim you're staying in the "reality of the world we actually live in". Please.

What would be your idea of a "True Democrat"? Howard Dean, whose 2004 healthcare reform proposal was MORE conservative than what we have now? Dennis Kucinich, who never got more than 5% of the votes in any primary he's been in? Or somebody even LESS electable.

The Senate is the problem, NOT Obama. The House has passed a LOT of progressive legislation that has been killed dead in the Senate for lack of 60 progressive votes to kill a filibuster. You ndidn't get single-payer? Blame the Senate. No Public Option? Senate again? Watering down finance reform? Guess what.

Get out of YOUR fantasy world and start working your ass off to get progressives in the Senate, and THEN you can whine about Obama.
