Reply #13: And....what did he say that led you to believe he's offering "blind opposition"?

No progressive should reward corporate Dems with votes. For what? It's hardly cutting off my nose to spite my face. Voting for an expansion of war, health insurer profits, and bailing out the banks is against my interests as a working class person. If the Democrats want my vote, they can represent me. If they can't represent the working class, then what we have is a larger problem: a government ENTIRELY enthrall to privately owned propaganda systems and corporate profit. If that's the case, then extra-electoral action, such as organization for mass strikes, is the only path left.

Some of us won't put our stamp on this. And if it makes you feel any better, any progressive bones thrown to us will come as a result of those challenging the president, not those telling him his right-wing policies are okay.
