(5,082 posts)The time for centrist, do-nothing, capitulating is over...it shouldve been over in 2008 but we fell for the same old garbage. I love how people try and pretend they are the "real" Democratic party when they are just playing the us versus them. goodcop vs badcop, our team versus their team corporate sponsored dog and pony show. The Democrats that gave us the way of life we had until the 90s would be ashamed. The center has been moved but we don't have to be. Time to stand up and be counted. Nothing has changed in this country for the better except maybe some health care discounts...wow...are we that easily pacified? Get real...this country has changed into one big prison camp and the fact that we have a friendlier warden that offers us a few more perks if we are well behaved is frankly a sick joke. I am excited to see Hillary wave her ego wand above us and not pull a rabbit out of the hat as I am supporting whoever behaves like Elizabeth Warren and Mr Grayson...if they have the courage...remember Obama got elected in a racist country twice so the tired, old argument that a real liberal can't win is simply false advertising...if the personality resonates as having integrity and the policies (not cultural wedges) appeal to people then it will be an automatic win as long as we can keep Republican cheating in check. The Presidential race isn't gerrymandered.
