Reply #4: Worried too by perception [View All]

[PATRICK]

that the party is driven by the Coup and that "losing" is the wrong word when robbed is not only accurate but a required base understanding to get the nation back to democracy as such. If the tanks had rolled over us it would not be apathy but almost relief because for once the chaff of ideas, issues and myths would have been honestly swept away.

The party has been easily sidestepped along with the majority of America and seeks bewildered refuge behind doing what it always has and predictably so because it is good and comforting. If we were rightly treating this humiliating coup as a criminal enterprise- which it is from top to bottom aided by the ignorant, the greedy and by thugs we would be one step closer to acting effectively. Instead we keep bending away to the hope- perhaps vain- that "next time" the rigged system will give us the win and this aberration will... just go away?

The weaknesses of corporate media, parties, and America itself were always there and dangerous. Myths of the past need to be surrendered too because they have been put to a very ugly test and have been made into a mockery, have fallen rock bottom into disgrace. Do we have to call the bad guys geniuses rather than admit pragmatism and soft selling ideals and a weakly informed passive populace IS the danger no matter what current devil is possessing the body? The second last paragraph I hope is being acted on. It won't come easy or perfectly since money weighs against all those ideals. Money is needed to make the great candidate known and money can destroy anyone without the resources or extreme ingenuity to substitute. The chicken and egg lose/lose situation is working against us when the foxes rule. A less pure amalgam of outside the box warfare is needed now and our sight on grassroots reform must control both spirit and the doers.

We need the best leaders and minds, we need to reach the people, we need to win(and I don't mean polls or the contest but the new game). More like an uprising against extremism, plutocracy, crime and tyranny is called for. Instead the Dems have been running away from the real face of the beast for decades- partly because some of the mythical side they desired too for the wide road to political success after WWII.
