...so long as we win? For too long, the Democrats have settled for the safe candidate, in my opinion. In the process, we have ended up with nothing. By "we", I mean "we, the people".
What is wrong with expecting the government, to whom we pay humongous amounts of taxes to provide for the military and the welfare of the wealthy, to finally do something for its people? Is it too much to expect a government to help take car of its sick? Is it too much to expect this government to help with college education? Is it too much to expect every American to be covered by universal healthcare?
Why not have a President that wants to finally kick ass and take names, rather than groveling to the special interests? The last President we had that actually thought the government should help its people was LBJ. It is unfortunate that the Vietnam War destroyed his legacy.
Instead, we play it safe. We talk "bi-partisanship" and working together and compromise. We all know that the only time Republicans "compromise" is when it is in their favor. I'm sick of that type of Democratic politics. I don't have any desire to win by 1 point. I want a frigging landslide. I want to bury these sorry greedy bastards under the landslide so deeply that it will take them 40 years to crawl out.
