Triangulation SUCKS! especially for Progressives-
Triangulation SUCKS! especially for Progressives-

Triangulation on every issue equals no position.
Triangulation equals corporation speak.
Triangulation on many issues is illegal, immoral, and unconstitutional.

Personally:
Can we trust a triangulating Progressive?
Are we supposed to parse every word they say - like Pravda readers - and hope for the best?
Is that leadership? Is that humanity?

As Confucius said:
"When words lose their meaning - people will lose their liberty."

I believe the tension between everyone's Democratic (ideal) and Republican (ideal) tendencies is the only thing that allows us to adjust to changing conditions.

Balanced interests- not monopolistic blocks - are the heart of our Democratic Republic.
No true leaders and a lack of personal involvement drives us straight into the arms of privately funded interests which inevitability get taken over by criminals and fascists.

It's a war for public attention -and a thin tepid trickle isn't very attractive.


Donning the tinfoil hat-
JFK, RFK, MLK y mucho mucho mas.
I'm only saying it sucks, and it does.

1. 100 plus reads- 2 recs -self-kicking
I did spend a lot of time thinking about this stuff.
And I think it's very important.

2. another self-kick
This is a big part of our ongoing problem with congress
and exactly how the neo-cons stole their party from
anyone with any morals.
