In reply to the discussion: The real question that the Ron Paul candidacy poses for Democrats [View all]SixthSense
(829 posts)Between relentless incarceration and surveillance of regular folks and the total license of the top 1% to get away with whatever the hell they please, the only threads left in the social fabric are the ones that bind our hands from freeing ourselves of corporatocracy.
I'm not arguing for Ron Paul. I'm arguing for the Democratic Party to pick up these key issues of social and economic justice and run with them, as is the tradition and raison d'etre of the party as well as the overwhelming popular will.
Looking at Ron Paul, even with all those fringe viewpoints he gets a lot of support because nobody else will do the right thing on these key issues.
There is no excuse for a black Democratic Party President to be pursuing the drug war with the fervor of a KKK Grand Wizard.
