3. And why, exactly, would they believe us?
All they have to say is, "Fine. Vote Republican, or don't vote and let the Republicans win." and we'll all fall right back in line.

That's been the way of it for a couple of decades. So why would they take such a threat seriously?

5. WE can run and support REAL liberals in the Primaries and if they don't win let the DLC and GOP
fight it out without us. I do not see much difference in POLICY between them.

6. With the gov. owned by banks, lobbyists, wall street, corporations and
highly monied interests through political contributions and lobbyists, and some of the moronic supreme court decisions, nothing much is going to happen to prevent this from happening again.

The country has been functioning like the Keystone Kops for years, eventually it will go over the cliff. I think liberal/progressive democrats could make a significant difference, but how do you get the enormous amount of money out of elections. IMO that is the root cause of a lot of gov./election problems. And the MSM makes out like a bandit. The system by default runs against many of the citizens and is compounded often by voter ignorance and gullibility.

election the internet was significant, my hope is eventually it might bypass MSM. If people saw more investigative reporting today like Jack Anderson used to do, for example, more of the BS would be exposed. The current MSM is complacent with the money trail as recipients.

11. I've not said much on DU, but I've been disappointed. I thought this was going to
be a rerun of FDR. There was so much enthusiasm. I suppose someone will call me an Obama basher, but I'm not, I'm just saying how I feel, kind of let down, and I know a lot of dems. that feel the same.
