I mean OMG, how many defeatist articles can you put together? Of course the Tea-bagging nuts win, because we let them. You heard me: we let them! Did we call a general strike until we get real change? No! Did we make an effective threat for a general boycott of the 2010 election? No!
So why the freak would any politician listen to us, the modern American progressive movement is a patsy pushover movement. Until we are ready to stop all consumer activity, all working activity, everything until we get change we can believe in---exactly nothing will get done.
So bitch about we don't have the power, we don't have the power because we do not have the chutzpah to take the power. We all knew that the politicians, including Barack were corrupt, but we fooled ourselves into thinking voting was enough. Voting isn't enough. Call in sick, or simply walk out on your jobs, else exactly nothing will happen. Unlike Hillary I don't think a village can do it, but I think a mob will do just fine.
