FDR Saw This Coming And Tried To Warn Us

37. This is Exactly Right

We need not only 60 plus, but we need voting in off-term elections to achieve it. Corporate money was a big factor in 2010, but more than that, it was a whole lot of folks that voted in 2008, NOT voting for Obama in 2010, that allowed the Senate and House to revert to "impotent" status, and allowed Republicans to filibuster over 300 jobs' producing bills in the House.

If there is any hope at all of getting corporate money out of elections, or getting a living wage, perhaps some reasonable laws about trade instead of our send all the jobs away strategy, just good sense people stuff, we're going to have to make it almost impossible for a Republican to get elected, even as dog-catcher. Only then will the political spectrum start moving back to the left enough to achieve the things we need done.

That said, I think FDR had 66, but he didn't have the media, and the level of bribery going on now to fight against, along with 34 years of constant brainwashing on hating the poor, and worshiping the rich.
