These last couple of days, I’ve been thinking about whether or not I’d be happy right now if there was a Democratically controlled White House and Congress. I’d have to say no. The parties are the problem - and I’m not about to pick up where the current batch of Kool-Aid drinkers will leave off. Our binary political system IS the problem. Isn’t there some Third Way?
My mood is framed by this post and quote from BOPNEWS:
Why is this going to come to pass? Because about 65% of Americans are either conservative or reactionary. This political alliance will dominate until the day that it really does break down, leaving progressives to come in and fix a catastrophic meltdown of the economy. Civil rights, equality, mobility - kiss them all good bye, because only when they are taken away will progressives stop giving money to conservatives - who will take it and sell the progressives out for a bunch of clean coal plants and some jet fighter bases.
