Though I'm about to get really depressed, I have to wonder what the public thinks, when you consider that liberal/progressive nonfiction books have been doing considerably better than the repuke books. Unless more repukes watch tv than books, and that would make sense and I'm not about to make a very harsh glib generalization about people who watch the televised media...
Witness the sadder side of American life in 2003:
The repukes are calling ALL the shots.
The Dems in power readily capitulate, basically saying "We're just like you". (meanwhile we on DU and other pockets of people who remembered how to THINK know those in power are flat out wrong and are now less likely to vote for them, knowing what spineless cretins they are.) Consider what many a person would do: if they saw a person calling the shots and then saw other people effectively saying "we're just like you, Mr. person calling the shots", why the hell would they consider them unless the one calling the shots died? Add a nail to the Democratic Coffin for this insult alone. The Democrats are killing themselves by doing this, and do they realize it? They, the public, are just as likely to vote repuke anyway.
Nobody's ever heard of any other political party, except for the generic term "3rd party", yet alone taken them seriously (thanks to the media of either major party affiliation telling the sheeple that voting 3rd party is "a waste", and remember that BOTH major parties have many corporate interests and most 3rd parties are for the people, not the corporation.) Since when do you hear about a 3rd party in anything, unless it's in a negative light? Once again, the media is calling the shots and it is not a liberal media.
I fear Bush and his repuke friends will win in 2004. And not necessarily because of the people but because the Dem candidates have been so frigging stupid with their "I can do it too, just like you, look at meeeeeeeee!" attitude. And will the public, or anybody, believe "bipartisanship" as an excuse? Bill Clinton was bipartisan and look how he was treated throughout his tenure, and beyond. ANother nail in the Dem coffin, we capitulate and cooperate and they'll spill acid onto our collective crotch in the end anyway.
And even if Bushco lost, how much difference would a Dem majority make? With all the tax cuts, any tax increases will not be tolerated of. The pukes and the media have made damn certain that new taxes or raised taxes are evil, even if they themselves raise taxes/costs. No Dem can even begin to add social programs.
And, no, even if a 3rd party won a clean sweep of the US government (how I'll wish that to my grave and beyond) - or a truly totally progressive Dem party (meaning no "centrists", sorry), the pukes have done so much damage that the public won't be able to tolerate massive change. They'd have a collective nervous breakdown.
Quite frankly, we're going down a road that has no turns and blocks us off from the rear.
Whether it be the national debt, the invasions and so-called "wars", right down to puke-oriented popaganda and brainwashing, I think America is screwed and the public did it to itself. We lost it when we allowed politicians to get away with crooked acts. We then killed ourselves when we stoped caring about politicians and what they do. All the public wants is an empathic act. That's why they loved Reagan, the destructive ACTOR. And that is why Bush II, the antichrist who claims to come in the name of God yet causes wars and misery around the globe, is still popular.)
