& I agree, we must vote Dem

...this next election at least.

but if enough people leave the party for Independent or even Green, maybe, just perhaps the powers that be will finally get a clue that they're hemorrhaging their base!

That said, AFTER we get a strong majority elected, it is time to get rid of all those DINO's, those 'social conservative Democrats' (an oxymoron if I ever heard one!) and all those who view corporations as their masters instead of We the People who elected them

--and especially dispose of those elected representatives who feel they are our "leaders", that they are our 'superiors'. Sadly, Nancy Pelosi is far from alone in that category.

We got rid of royalty witn the Revolution. The rich and powerful and egotistical seem to have forgotten that.

We the People, We the Peasants, We the Peons
we are the ones who voted them into power in the first place! How quick they forget. And how quick they are to assume once elected, 'a la Joe LIEberman, that they should forever remain in that seat ne'er to be replaced or challenged no matter how poorly they represent us! They're entitled, permanently, ya know :eyes:
To these people, our voices should not be paid attention to, much less heard at all.
Better yet, arrest or use a taser on us (if not worse)
--or both at once!

At least Marie Antionette (actually it wasn't she who gave that famous quote but another in the court, that was the King's sister quote I believe but memory is hazy) was born into royalty. The one who voiced 'Let them eat cake' didn't know any better what with all their needs always being more than met and ignorant of the misery of their people. Our new political 'royalty' cannot claim that ignorance.


If we can't get them out, and out in time... well, WWIII is NOT a laughing matter, and this time we --all of the American people-- are the Germans.
Almost as arrogant as the 'pukes, the Democratic Party knows the it has a vampiric, parasitic stranglehold on its own people. The party which they have morphed into in the past decades has to be stopped or at least turned from their current destructive course.
It must end.

I don't know, yet, how we can achieve this and retain the majority. There has to be a way, or our fate is bound to be virtual, permanent, voiceless slaves to our very own Party.
Perhaps leaving en masse right after an election chock full of newly elected Blue Dogs, DINO's, etc, with the (secret!) understanding that we'd rejoin the Party before the next election would work.
Or with the personal qualification that at least that we'd still vote Dem (again, they need not know that).
As it stands now the two-party system is broken. It never was a great thing in the first place, I don't understand how we only evolved 2 parties while other democracies have many different parties, who, while making alliances with others, still are separate and distinct.

I wish I knew the answers, but things as they are now are simply untenable and we must act to change it.
Somehow.
