(62,325 posts)What you are suggesting is to keep doing what we've been doing, allowing the middle to slide more and more, AND more quickly to the Right. I will not facilitate any more swinging to the Right. Did that, we have deregulation of the media, of the Wall St, multiple wars going on, defunding of Education, cuts already to SS, sneaky little cuts and now they are getting more bold.
I don't like Republican ideas so no, I will no longer be persuaded to 'just do it until we ... whatever'.
And this habit of signalling the Leadership that we will keep on supporting the Third Way with a 'D', they will keep on giving us what we are willing to take.
So now, it's time for us to change OUR tactics. It was one thing when we believed the rhetoric that this was what we had to do, now we understand what was really on, and knowing that it is, imo, unconscienable to keep feeding this machine.
No more following, the people need to lead rather than continue, like sheep, to repeat the same old habits that have gotten nowhere except for a few crumbs here and there.
WE JUST GOT CLAPPER to set up an 'outside' review committee. Do they they think we are stupid? Yes, they do, because we have excused every step towards the right for decades now.
