America is Polarized beyong belief! I never thought I'd see this but

[KoKo]

it is. I remember in the dark days after the "Selection" when I found DU and had a place I could go where I could find like minded individuals.

But...it's changed...as Bush has disenfranchised more and more of America I and others have become even MORE disenfranchised.

Sometimes, we wonder where we even fit in.

1. To them...

We just don't fit in to their plans. Remember: In the 41 White House, people like us were known as "One Fodder Units".

Gotta be in the top 1.5% of wage-earners to be their idea of REAL Americans.

2. I think you've got it wrong KoKo

We are now the not-so-silent majority.

Some people named Washington, Jefferson, Franklin, Adams... Cheer up you are in good company :)

14. Didn't you see that Russia and China both refused to vote for

the UN resolution the admin wanted passed, granting the US immunity for actions in Iraq. China and Russia both said they could not take our side, China specifically stated the torture in the prisons and the abuse concerned them.

We will not be the only ones who will sigh great big sighs of relief on November 3, but so will the rest of the world. The sigh that will be sighed around the world. ;-)

[realisticphish]

15. wow

you KNOW you've crossed the line when China is concerned about your human rights violations

[boobooday]

5. We don't fit in

Because their "big tent" is more like an overpriced phone booth.

That's why we pitch our own. heh

6. Can you explain what you mean?

I read your post and am a little confused. Is DU disappointing you or the state of the nation?

[ShaneGR]

8. We are currently the opposition, but come next January.....

We are the power. Simple? Yes. In an odd way, Bush is the best thing that could have happened to the liberal movement. They've been so dirty, so dishonest, so criminal, that they're about to usher in a LASTING Democratic Majority. It's amazing really.

[onecitizen]

9. yep we got the big......

Mo on our side. It's been a very long 3years though.

[goforit]

10. Hell! Even Thomas Jefferson said we need a revolution every 25 yrs.

Time has come and went!!!!

And the clock isa ticking!!!

11. hang in there and stay involved. the dismantling of the New Deal

and the Great Society need to be challenged. Along the way, there may need to be some compromises to negotiate, but don't give them lightly and keep your receipts. and let anyone you know who claims their vote doesn't count to remember the last Prez election. this from an older (I assume? - 52 years old) liberal.

12. For me, this started

with Newt and the "Contract with America". Then the government
shutdown, the impeachment, the stealing of the election, and the
entire 3.5 years of the Bush misadministration. Before, I was
left leaning but I didn't HATE the right. Now... and I HATE
them for that too.
