Showing Original Post only (View all)Jeezes, we need some actual Democrats in office [View all]

Reading this morning's news on DU, it's a fucking catastrophe out there. Kids getting killed for Walking While Black, money scammed from kids trying to get an education, the 99% still being economically sodomized, but ginormous torrents of cash are being showered on the 1%.
Every American is being spied on, and the most decent living American President says that Democracy is kaput here.
Wow!
This is vexing.
We need some help from our elected officials, if they can pull off of Wall Street's teat for a few moments.
Regards,
First-Way Manny

No, it is a wish and a goal. A plan is how you get there and how you verify progress on the way.

Yes. It's a catch 22. The game is rigged, and is played in a maze that has no exit.
