The THUGS in power (hidden and visible) will not give it up willingly or easily. I am worried.
It seems that many of those in trumpet's camp have internalized him and Pence, in the same manner as religious zealots do, excusing/ignoring any inconsistencies or wrongdoings. There even seems to be a horrid central movement toward making that filth dictator for life!
We, of a more liberal bent, cannot match their blind "sheep-like" adhesion to their cause, I think.
What can be done then?
It seems unlikely to me that any group other than the Democrats can lift a worthy candidate high enough, for a win, in the intervening time til 2020.
Based on the last election, the Democrats' person would have to offer more than words. Bernie was the popular choice, yet the political machine/group second guessed that obvious best choice for a person (whether true or not) who the average voter saw as conniving, a part of the same crooked system, (in bed with the profit-driven war machine), and utterly untrustworthy.
We MUST offer the people a REAL alternative to trumpet's group. A person who has LIVED the correct ideals his/her entire life, who wants the country to be a true help and goodness for ALL of its people, not just the richest!
Plus they will yell victory over Korea and Israel
Naturally!
The problem is that the wealthy who control the government in this country also control the Democratic party. This was quite evident in the primaries when Bernie opposed Hillary. The corruption of the voting process which included felonies committed to make the vote come out the way they wanted it have not been addressed and until they are and most of the Democratic leadership has been thrown out and replaced, we won't have the use of that party for change.
I'm afraid of the very problems you speak of, Enchanter
How I agree - but I'm an outsider with no vote or the power to influence others. (I'm not even Russian!)
Your voice matters.
Your thoughts and opinions carry weight. Logic and caring are better than greed and fear. If we keep striving, the pendulum will swing back to reason.
@njoy_life_2 The straw that broke the camel's back?
@Petter
Unsure of your meaning Petter....
@njoy_life_2 There's a moralistic story of an Arab trader who kept loading his camel with more and more bales of straw, and making more and more profit. Then one day, with the poor camel groaning under the weight, he picked up a straw and added it to the load, and the camel's back broke.
@Petter
Oooo, groan I know that story, but ... Must be running very slow today...
No Petter, I doubt your thoughts and opinions would easily carry THAT much "weight".... Lol, surely no broken back from YOU!
