Yeah, Powell memorandum, Civil rights backlash, ‘New Democrats’ and many more have played roles in the current party structure.

Your terrified of Republican, I’m terrified of the Democratic Party.

The blob enables the rightward drift by suppressing a left alternative.

That’s were I come from. Oddly, many take it as being a Trump supporter.

I'm saying that we should have started lobbing bombs at them immediately after Reagan began enforcing Powell on Steroids.
We sat back and bowed our heads in shame, "End of an Era" etc etc.

Suddenly now we're all supposed to be revolutionaries? Hah!
We don't even have any bullets yet, it's like we're supposed to throw aspirin pills at COVID-19 and pray the aspirin takes hold.

I agree with you on everything you say about them being mostly "corporate lobbyists, political campaign bundles weapons contractors, etc" but the fact is - - we got too good at attacking each other and all they did was feast on the other end of the carcass while we weren't looking, and all that protein made them strong.

If we're going to fight, we need to be strong, and in order to be strong, we need to be able to breathe.
Four more years of Trump and I'm dead, simple as that. I'm dead, Karen is dead and my son will be dead.

That's not overly dramatic, it is an actual fact.
Karen is very sick, I am just now recovering and realizing I am sicker than I thought I was even though I feel better, and my son is still facing a heart transplant...someday. He will not get better without it, only worse.

Who knows, maybe all us sick people need to just get out of your way.
Heh, not ready to do that just yet.
