Dems Won’t Do
The Right Thing, Which Is Why They Are Losers
Well the 2014 Mid-Term Elections are over with and, true to form, the politically-retarded
voters once again failed to do their bit to bring about the change that they
claim they want. They once again
surrendered to the old scam that says that if one dominant political party just
had a little more power in government over the other dominant political party
that things would “get better”.
It sort of reminds me of the story of two strippers that would try to
vie for the attentions of a sad and lonely repeat customer, each of them seducing
him and promising him the time of his life if only he would spend all his money
on one of them. Of course the “time of
his life” was just a figure of speech.
They would never give him what he truly needed or wanted, no matter how
much money he had to spend on them. It’s
an even sadder and pathetic tale for me because I used to be that customer.
So now the voters – both those that bothered to vote and those that
were too retarded to even bother voting but still “voted” by their absence – have
made their choices and we all will have to live with their choices and I will remind
them that they are to blame for their choices and the future misery and
frustrations that will follow from their choices.
But that doesn’t mean that the players themselves in this continual
con-game are completely blameless. It’s
one thing to give it your best and fail.
It is another thing entirely to be simply the “fallback choice”, which
is what the Democrats have become.
Let’s get brutally honest here… the Democratic Party, the so-called “Party
of Jefferson”, has become a sad and pathetic shell of a political party that
serves as the perpetual “fallback choice” when the GOP becomes too arrogant,
too incompetent, too corrupt, and/or too fascistic. And it really doesn’t take much for the GOP
to be either of those.
Sure, the Dems have their special interest groups, and that’s
apparently just enough to keep themselves relevant and hold on to some modicum
of political power. But that’s like
calling yogurt a three-course meal. All
the other times, they’re just waiting for the GOP to screw up, or to have some
kind of charismatic leader step up for them to follow. It’s no wonder why they’ve been losing over
and over again!
I’ve often referred to the two parties as a duopoly, but really what we
have is one dominant fascistic party with an enabling co-dependent “alternative”
whose only purpose in this universe now is to simply keep the seats of power
warm for the GOP when they get off their fascism high. That is what we really have in the United
States.
So how do you change that?
Obviously the first way to change that would be to replace the Dems with
a new party. But that would require the
voting masses to stop choosing to be retards and actually vote for the change
that they want, and that’s not likely to ever happen.
So if the Democrats want to stop being losers, if they want to stop the
slow bleed of their own credibility, then they have to take some concrete steps
on their own to change things.
Let’s start with a very dramatic acknowledgement that they need to fix
things with the resignations of House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and
soon-to-be-Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid from their respective failed
leadership positions in Congress. They
don’t have to leave Congress, but they certainly should step down from their
so-called “leadership” positions. These
two joined President Obama as the poster children of Washington failure as
painted by the GOP and Fox News and talk radio, and they need to accept
responsibility for their part in the failure.
There’s good precedence for this: back in 1998, it was House Speaker
Newt Gingrich that accepted responsibility for the GOP’s failure to cement
their dominance in the Congress and stepped down. Of course there were some other factors that
were in play behind-the-scenes, but just the act of Gingrich stepping down was
a public sign that the party hierarchy was aware of their failure and wanted
things to change.
That is precisely what the Democrats need to do if they want to survive
and not just be a perpetual failure machine waiting
for the GOP to screw up just so they can get a nudge ahead. Pelosi and Reid need to step down and let
others take over their minority status and take the burdens. They can keep their cushy overrated election
positions with their undeserving lifetime pensions; they just need to stop
being the poster models for perpetual stagnant failure.
Of course, I don’t see that happening anytime soon. Pelosi and Reid refuse to admit they did
anything wrong, never mind recognize that they’ve been scripted by Fox News and
talk radio to be part of the “Trio of Evil” along with Obama. Pelosi didn’t acknowledge her own failure
when she lost control of the House in 2010, she hasn’t admitted to any kind of
failing since then, and I don’t see her doing anything different in the near
future. And Reid only seems to care
about his own cushy seniority, so as long as he can count on his loyal group of
political retards to keep him in office, I also don’t see him doing anything
different now that he’s going from Majority to Minority Leader.
This is why the Democratic Party will continue to be the party of
losers. They don’t look at the big
picture when it comes to voter dissatisfaction.
They’re only focusing on their own special interest groups and their own
elected positions and expecting the GOP to self-destruct so they won’t have to
put up anything that shows they care about what’s going on in the country. The GOP plans and agendas may suck and they
may be destructive in the long-run, but they’ve managed to convince the
politically retarded that they’re the only ones with a plan, and the Dems have
not done anything to change that opinion.
But, then again, this is what you, the great self-retarded voting
masses, voted for this past election, isn’t it?

Um...I'm having a lot of trouble telling the Dems and Repubs apart. Obama has been a massive disappointment. He is just as mired in corporate money as the Repubs.
An argument can be made that Obama is worse that Bush II. He is drone bombing far more than Bush II ever dreamed of. He not only kept Guantanamo open, but is allowing torture there (forced feedings). He has allowed massive spying on US citizens and has gone after more whistle blowers than all previous presidents combined. He will probably approve the Keystone XL pipeline. He has been pretty bad on women's issues (opposing FDA recommendation on morning after pill, caving on the Hyde Amendment, being generally clueless).
I used to be a lifelong Democrat, but, no more. If my vote is not going to count anyway, then I might as well vote in a way more in alignment with my views. Last Tuesday, after reading the party platforms of as many third parties as I could find, I chose the one that best fit my views. Amazingly enough, that was the Socialist Party.
Maybe the problem with US voters is that they rely on US corporate run news outlets and are thus incredibly uninformed. Maybe they should try the BBC, Al Jazeera, Democracy Now, Acronym TV, RD Wolff, Redacted Tonight (to keep things light) and other independent internet news sources.
Face it until we get the money out of our political system, our votes simply won't count. Support Move to Amend.
