What has Obama accomplished?

31. So you want to kill kittens?

Please learn to read what I wrote, before misrepresenting it with a non-sequitur question like that.

I said something about what the Dow is, both inherently and as an indicator of something positive (which you seem to think it is). It indicates nothing other than the current market value of 30 mega-death corporations chosen by NewsCorp as indicative of something important. These are big parts of the much bigger machine that is melting the icecaps and driving what is probably the biggest extinction event in the history of life. To focus on the triviality of their current market price is the problem, not the solution.

Golly gee, do a lot of voters nevertheless care about that crap more than they do about their own lives, and those of their children and grandchildren? On some level, yes. Or they are willfully ignorant. Either way they do.

Your response - that I was actually expressing an opinion about how people who own stock should vote, and somehow magically without actually saying so - is bizarre, and speaks to obsessions of yours so strongly held that you can't even read what anyone wrote except in terms of party strategy, apparently divorced from any principle or the most important issues facing us.

The Democrats are not a successful liberal party. That's what they were up until the 1970s (domestically, anyway, notwithstanding their support for the international murder machine that killed millions in Vietnam and elsewhere).

At the moment, they are a successful, for now, neoliberal party. Very big difference, and highly unfortunate. They would be serving us better in the wilderness, if they were actually going to be a liberal party when elected.
