What The $%^# Can We Do About The "We Suck A Little Less" Democrats?

[MannyGoldstein]

So let's see... in the past day we've seen the congressional "Democrats" assent to Constitution-busting warrantless wiretapping, and abandon an attempt to tax the wealthiest Americans at more than the 17% they now pay (the median American is taxed at more than twice that rate). In the recent past we've had "Democrats" demand war with an unthreatening country (with Iran on deck), and lay the groundwork for obliterating middle class jobs by sending them to China and other micro-wage nation. All for a few shekels from their corporate patrons.

It could not be clearer that the congressional "Democrats" have firmly adopted a strategy "We suck a little less than the Republicans - and who else are you gonna vote for, assholes?!".

Is anyone else utterly sick of this, or am I the only crazy person who'd like to take a baseball bat to these bastards? If anyone else is tired of this garbage, then enough is enough - it's time to organize a movement to toss these people out on their asses and get a government of, by, and for The People.

1. I hear ya bruddah. Don't see any way out, though. We're gonna

have to elect one of these guys/gal, and hope for the best. I wish we could get Kucinich, or who knows who, but the powers, or the man, or somebody, has already decided we only have two or maybe three choices. Then again, we are still months from a single actual vote being cast, so who knows? Most important thing is that we defeat the rethugs soundly and thoroughly. Then we hope.
:hurts:

2. Defeat The Rethugs And Get What?

We'll get the privilege of rocketing into the abyss at a slightly slower speed? Oh, goody.

Fuck it. Time to do something.

4. Just hope. Got another suggestion? Another option?
