America's long regressive winter coming to a close

Maybe the long regressive winter of American politics is coming to a close. And maybe – just maybe – it is doing so with the extra kicker of a righteous wrath bringing its fury down on those most deserving of a generation's worth of rage and contempt.

American politics sucks, doesn’t it?

C’mon, face it – you know it does. You know ‘cause you’ve experienced it your whole life. You (and I) have made a career out of sitting there watching in helpless astonishment as dweebs like Mike Dukakis and John Kerry stood by hopelessly looking on in election after election, while crypto-fascist punks like Dick Nixon and Little Bush handed them their lunch. Only then to go on and rack up nearly as much damage in the world as imaginable, while using hate and divisiveness to maintain support at home. Right?

Your whole life teaches you that to be a progressive in America is to make Sisyphus look like a slacker. Hey, at least he got to the top of the mountain once in a while! Even if it was all for naught, that’s still a lot more than we’ve been getting across the better part of a lifetime. Right?

And yet...

Maybe – just maybe – the long regressive winter of American politics is coming to a close. And maybe – just maybe – it is doing so with the extra kicker of a righteous wrath bringing its fury down on those most deserving of a generation’s worth of rage and contempt.

We can’t keep playing the same Washington game with the same Washington players and somehow expect a different result, because it’s a game that ordinary Americans are losing. We are going to put this game to an end.

my comment -

"We can’t keep playing the same Washington game with the same Washington players and somehow expect a different result"

That's Obama's

But haven't we heard that "insanity is trying the same thing over and over and expecting different results"?

Well, as much as I respected Bill Clinton, I think the USA, and more importantly, THE WORLD would like to see a major change in USA politics.

Obama may not be the answer.

But another Clinton is DEFINITELY not the answer in my opinion.

Sorry Hillary, I'd have no problem voting for a woman,

but you got baggage.
