The Lost Hosts Awaken

13. There is value in harm reduction though.

It's THE reason to vote Democratic. However, we can't be foolish enough to praise the state of the current Democratic Party. Things have been getting worse economically and for our civil rights CONSISTENTLY over the past few decades, and Democrats absolutely deserve some of the blame. Not to mention our continuing militaristic foreign policy. It IS enough to drive a progressive or liberal quite mad sometimes.

Far right-wing Republican Presidents, Congress Critters, and judges WILL be worse for everyone except for the oligarchy.

We will need to build a strong and lasting movement to raise the awareness of the people of the need to elect progressives and not 3rd Way Democrats to change the direction of our country. TPTB will do EVERYTHING they can to discredit that movement, and we will have to find a way to overcome them in order to be successful. It is daunting, and it will take quite a long time to achieve, but I hope I'm around to be a part of it over the next few decades...

In the meantime I vote Democratic to hopefully lessen the casualties. There will be no celebrations from me when 3rd Way Dems are elected though, and I won't get crushed when they act like 3rd Way Dems. I know that they are scorpions by nature (who are not really even in much of a disguise; their speeches are transparent). I will call a spade a spade.
