Reply #35: It's amazing to me how people like you think you'll create useful change

I uhh, need the party.

Bu-bye.

Macro-political forces ? I'll have a macrobiotic sandwich.

No, son (or baby), I don't need the Party. The party is going to hit a steep learning curve (with its forehead, it looks like) where all the hacks in cushy jobs you mention are going to whine about why we're not enthusiastic about paying out for the Party line, and the reply will be "because you weaklings didn't implement it". Because you were coopted just like the GOP you increasingly resemble.

And things will go back to what they should always have been, about the individual candidate and what platform they choose, and whether they represent their constituency, and whether their views align with yours and merit your vote. It's not a "group thing".

And yes, by the way, I'm exercising myself about this because I along with millions of others gave my money and time to Party actions, including the DNC, DSCC, DCCC and others. We had eight years of failure to beat a loser opposition, with a lot of mouthy emails with the word "fight" in the subject, but no one getting it up to tell people who used 'liberal' as a slur to go fuck themselves. In public, with the Party visibly behind the action. Instead, we got to see a lot of apparatchiks slapping themselves on the back about the victories BillC had won for them. And now we continue to see a lot of apparatchiks slapping themselves on the back about the victories BarackO is winning for them. Note the lack of action nevermind victory on the part of the apparatchiks themselves in this scenario.

Well, if millions of their fellows can be unemployed, so can the apparatchiks.

Thanks for your best wishes.
