Progressives, Dems, Anti-DINOs, Indies, Nader voters, R-Lite can all agree
to foster honest dialogue about daily effects on American life (and death) of corporate rule in this country: the effects of government driven by globalization and ruled by CEO war profiteers; the impotence of a Congress that many Americans --like it or not-- consider equally corrupt and beholden to Big Business on both sides of the Congressional aisle.

Corporate cronyism and unchecked power is the unifying message. The segment of the population --the working public-- that "gets that" is broader than many Dems and wonks acknowledge. Many professional pols and the still-too-cozy-to-quit-identifying-with-the-super-rich middle class types can ignore the truth, but working people, of all walks of life already KNOW that the unifyfing problem here is corporate power and control of government and public affairs. (That goes double for all the folks who don't vote at all because they think both parties are in bed with corporations and the process is a joke).

Who will have the courage to look at what we need to work on in common, as time runs out on our opportunities to do so?

1. DINOs and R-Lites still haven't figured it all out, though
and don't see globalization as a problem, still think offshoring is good for the country, wonder why in the world the minimum wage needs to be raised if McDonald's is paing $7/hr in the cities, and don't think concentration of wealth into the fewest hands possible is a problem for democracy.

Once they start to wake up, maybe we can have a dialog.

Right now, they just make me tired.
