(2,450 posts)Lies that stick indicate a good politician, it's an asset to the Panem crowd. I'm more interested in change than poltics, but it's just so damn slow.
I still hope we can make a bigger leap, but we have gone further than I ever expected and the election is still a ways off. So that's cause for hope. Bernie is shaking things up, finally somebody is. I'm disappointed they still insist on the tribal framework though, but it's almost like trying to talk sense into an addict that insists he's fine. Nothing you can do, really.
It's not about the win, well, it is about the win. Of course it's about the win, but there's a bigger picture. The Democratic party, the way they want to keep it, is unsustainable. It's due for a reboot and nature will demand one eventually. I hope we can cut it off at the pass but I can't see it, people simply don't like change. They resist it hard and the more you push, the tighter they hold on. If Trump is what it takes, so be it. It's not like they didn't see him coming.
Or we can simply create an entirely new party.
