Our Country Really Sucks..

And Yea, I’d move in a heart beat if I could afford to.

Yea, I will work hard to get as many Progressive Dems. as possible elected, but it’s gonna take decades
to fix this mess, which began with Uncle Ronnie’s “Welfare Queen" Comment and Union Busting

I am hoping if they do that we will see actual revolution.

I want it to be peaceful, but people with no money, no food or very little, no medicine, surrounded by the wealthiest people on the planet, are gonna do something, right?

Because of a few sucky people who tirelessly make it so.

But I love my country, which is so much more than the minority of rich and powerful jerks who live here. Countries aren't defined by ignoring the positive and focusing on the negative, and they are certainly not defined solely by politics. Think art, music and literature.

It is kind of sad that you apparently don't see it.

Cool! Leave the rest of us to fend for ourselves.

Because "screw you got mine" is the progressive mindset!
