Time to choose now. Don't be on the wrong side of history...

Just sayin....

1. Might want to send that to the White House...

;-)

[RagAss]

2. They seem to be taking their time. I'm sure the Repugs will hijack the movement.

We Dems can't even wipe our asses !!!!

[Fire Walk With Me]

3. The movement is thankfully not comprised of spineless Dems. Repubs will NOT suborn #OWS,

they will fall to pieces attempting to smash themselves against it.

Something new is in the world, get on the right side.

[RagAss]

4. I agree...this awakening is without a party !

[slay]

5. I'd go even further and say The American People are without a party

Wall Street, corporations, and the big banks have them BOTH.

7. There is cause and effect and a "Jungian" reaction happening that I tried to explain a month ago

from a previous post that can be found in my journal


More and more people are becoming aware of how screwed we 99% are with no help
to be expected from anyone on the political horizon, no matter the party.

We have allowed the party of the people to devolve into a co-conspirator that would have us all as slave labor feeding the wealthy, a country where those that have nothing to contribute to the wealth of the few are left to perish as useless eaters. A country where bloody empire for the profit of of an out of control military industry and a thriving new mercenary industry are gorged on the blood of those that are no threat to us in any military sense. A modern form of feudalism that is developing before our eyes.

Without a party to protect us from the unwavering desire of some to re-create this nation as a neo-feudal fascism it's rebirth will continue unabated on it's course toward the neo-feudal goal.

They are beginning to see that they are on their own now against the purchased post-partisanship that will lead us to that goal faster or slower, but on the same course, ever rightward ever more cruel and ever more a threat to their well being and happiness.

We are almost there and there appears to be nothing to stop it.

I blame us that are on the front of liberal thought for allowing our party to so easily be taken over by the republican castaways that dare claim to be more than what they are, purchased lackeys of the wealthy elite.

I blame myself for allowing myself to be used as shamelessly as any trailer park GOP member that would support and vote for what is demonstrably against their best interests and the interests of over 99% of the citizens of this country.

I blame the party faithful for so easily adopting and even cheering well known and deeply damaging right wing policy simply because they follow the party line (policies that they are well educated about and once fought against).

I blame the party itself for being so easily bought and co-opted by the policies of the Heritage Foundation and The Chamber of Commerce simply for a pittance in campaign contributions.


Without a party to oppose the neo-feudalists, what is left to stop them?
What can we do?
What can YOU do?

WHAT THE HELL CAN I DO!

The last sentence describes not only my feelings, but also the feelings of a growing number of citizens that can not help but see what is happening because it grows more blatant every day.

8. Yes...this is the collective unconscious ...crying out to be heard.

It would be fatal to ignore it.

[Dragonfli]

12. Yes, that is exactly what I believe is at play here! /nt

9. Excellent post and analysis of the situation

i hope more DU'ers read it.

[Dragonfli]

11. I would have posted it as an OP but it is (in the context of Democratic partisanship),

borderline "tombstone earning" content.

6. Once the movement will be so big and persistent...

don't be surprise if one (or both) of them "promises promises" to go along with every demands...

(no more promises: only actions)

[Fire Walk With Me]

10. Wouldn't be surprising. I'm sure their hypocricy won't be tolerated.
