Self-criticism, accepting responsibility, facing reality? Let's see how long this lasts. LOL!

1. Lol, Thanks for Sharing. As you can see, this is way over most here at DU's heads...
Just give Barack another four years and THEN...

Oh, and keep chasing Republicans with our biting wit and soon they will just cave in under the comedic pressure! But whatever you do... DON'T CHANGE A THING THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY IS DOING!

Doomed.

2. THE DEMOCRATS RECIPE FOR FAILURE
Keep chasing Republicans with our biting wit and soon they will just cave in under the comedic pressure! But whatever you do... DON'T CHANGE A THING THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY IS DOING!

When you strain to prop up this miserable embarrassment of a Liberal and Progressive leader and the lackeys he has chosen that work for lobbyist cash (his cabinet appointments-- SCREAM of his true intentions) YOU help to destroy the cause of Progressives and Liberals in America... YOU! YOU put people to sleep, point them in directions in which they have no power to change, rather than do the hard work. The hard work, as in life, is looking at yourself and those inside your circle. To be courageous enough, to care enough to intervene in their destructive behavior rather than spoil them with praise and excuses.

The "Change" you think you want has no "Hope" of becoming a reality as long as you enable failure and deceit.

What does it accomplish to lower your standards and cover for this corporacrat, Barack Obama? Can we not urge Democrats to use critical thinking? Can we not raise our standards? Can we not inform people about the duplicity and hollowness of Barack's groovy speeches that result in little to nothing in reality?You really want us to believe that chasing Republicans around with our logic is going to make them change somehow? Are we going to shame them into sanity? Really? I say we stop expecting Republicans to usher in the new Progressive era and fucking bring it ourselves! And when some dickweed like Barack Obama and these "Blue Dog" corporacrats sell us out we hammer THEM! How does grading our own on a curve help anything?

Elected officials from the present two party system represent the interests of corporations over and above the Constitution and the electorate. America has been lead into a dangerous and unstable condition due to the exploitation of the People's government by corporate influence. There must be an accountability system that punishes public servant behavior that subverts electorate representation for corporate favoritism. The separation of the corporation, as well as the church from the state, must be initiated and enforced.

What keeps Progressives from achieving power and presence is not solely Republican oppression but ineffective, divided and corrupted Democratic elements. There seems to be this one dimensional approach among Democrats. I say, we vote for ass hole Barack if we have to BUT... realize exactly WHAT and WHO he is. He's a fucking corporate ass kisser! He's only a few shades darker than George W.! We need to build more well informed and demanding Liberals and work to reform the system!

Suggested Goals to Accomplish These Objectives
1. Publicly fund elections
2. Eliminate corporate personhood
3. Initiate instant runoff voting (or suitable comparable method - see Condorcet)
4. Eliminate electoral college
5. Ban exiting public officials from accepting lobbyist positions
6. Oversight of the Federal Reserve
7. Tax reformation (clarifying tax code, increase ease of compliance)
8. Budget reformation

Citizen Actions to Accomplish These Objectives
1. Strengthen and expand alternate media
2. Infiltrate existing party systems to affect changes
3. Exploit current means to pressure representatives
4. Prepare, support, and run Liberal/Progressive candidates
(*successful primary challenges as a possible way to get rid of bad Dems and get our message across.)
