The imminent backlash of the Democratic Left.

302. We are talking about two different processes inside the reality of politics.

You are talking about beliefs people have about the society that they want, and everything you say is something I would say also. I mean just on the marijuana issue alone, you can see how divided our society is in terms of RW oppressive tactics and the people themselves. Over 50% of all voters want some de-criminalizing or legalizing of marijuana. Some pollsters now insist that over 65% of the population wants this legalization! But only Three damn percent of our legislators want that to happen! they all want to look tough on the issue.

So I was more or less referring to what happens when people look at candidates. Since the One Percent has so much control over who the candidates happen to be, once at the polling place, the people have to forget about all the changes they want and all the liberal polices that they desire. (For instance, both Barack Obama and Mitt Romney were for endless wars, and for the banking cartel in charge of everything in this country, including whom it is that the President appoints to be in key spots at Treasury and The Fed, etc. with one of the few small differences being that Obama is still "in the closet" about "the need for austerity programs" while Mitt is openly for those austerity programs. Both are for GM foods, and subsidies for Monsanto, both are for almost identical insurance programs!)
