            Eh, I would argue Obama was a better candidate but I don’t want that to be the focus. I want better policy and follow-through with a group that will actually speak and engage with constituent dialog. I think even if someone like Sanders would’ve been elected that the Dems would drag their feet as a party with trying to pass anything effectove.

            After the whole Debbie Waserman-Shultz (sp, I know) thing, I’ve been very interested in the individuals who run the day-to-day operations of the party and if they’re legitimately promoting progressive candidates and policy with their procedures. If we don’t hold the Dem party responsible for the people running it, not just elected individuals, it’s going to remain a power hungry organization only interested in their continued thriving (and whatever fucked up metric they’re using to determine that).

      Yes, we need a new party that is at least slightly left of center to have any hope whatsoever. If you haven’t realized yet that Dems are controlled opposition, well…I’ve got a bridge to sell you.

        I realised that when both parties were publicly 100% committed to supporting Zionists no matter what atrocities they were committing. Even when the outcry from the left was such that committed dems were supporting other candidates.
