How tragic that the American Left and labor movement behave so similar to a battered woman. They know that the abuser is wrong, they know that nothing they do will prevent him from continued beatings, yet continue to go back for more and object to having the s.o.b. arrested!
Yesterday the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the corporate oligarch is now “legally” in total control! How much clearer does it need to be?
Folks, we need to do some serious soul searching. Are we to remain committed to continued betrayal by a corrupt electoral system? Are we to remain committed to the Democratic Party that has shown us that it lacks the gonads, the political will to fight for our interests? Do we close our eyes again when we see just how much “influence” corporate America has even on liberal Democrats? The choice is ours! I for one will gladly support the formation of a third party free of corporate influence and control. Got revolution?
The Dems are ALREADY bought off, Rupert
didn’t need the rigged court to pronounce yesterday’s decision. The Dems are part of
the Republican Party which is a
subsidiary of the Rupert gang.
Don’t expect ANYTHING from the Dems.
INSTEAD: call a National Progressive Convention,
Create a real progressive party with membership standards (i.e. members who start militating
for right wing nonsense will be thrown out).
MOBILIZE for this new party.
MOBILIZE! MOBILIZE! MOBILIZE!
Put forward a clear, strong, progressive
platform and run candidates in EVERY
circumscription. Let the Dems rot on the
same dung heap as the Dixiecrats!
