You folks are impressing the hell out of me!

Some quick disjointed thoughts:

You freaking get it!

Instead of drowning in tears, most are moving forward. I am impressed, I and we of the old times had wondered about this change of the wind, would it blow back into the fold? No, it is a cool breeze wafting the 99.

Nonpartisan = freedom to change. It was a good run within, time to pass the baton without. The Monopoly Game cannot be won when the cards have been stacked and the die have been weighted by the tycoon that owns Boardwalk.

I'm not playing in the blue sandbox any longer, the rich neighbor's cat shat in it. It tries to hide it's indiscretions with a thin layer of dirt, but the stench still boggles the senses.

The future will not wait much longer.

I am proud of you folks, you deserve a pat on the back.

No rest for the wicked, ya know. = ) We have work to do...like this:

From Bernie Sanders Supporters Will March in St. Louis — and 52 Other Cities — July 24

The Democratic Party presidential primary may be over, but the "Berniecrats" are not — the progressives who rallied around the candidacy of Senator Bernie Sanders plan to march in St. Louis and 52 other U.S. cities on Sunday, July 24.

And you're welcome to join them beginning at 11 a.m. at St. Louis City Hall (1200 Market Street). Their goal? To build a revolution, naturally.

Pretty much sums up my feelings!

[video:https://youtu.be/JoGweOFqapU]

Well, I heard some people talkin' just the other day
And they said you were gonna put me on a shelf
But let me tell you I got some news for you
And you'll soon find out it's true
And then you'll have to eat your lunch all by yourself
'Cause I'm already gone
And I'm feelin' strong
I will sing this vict'ry song, woo, hoo,hoo,woo,hoo,hoo

The letter that you wrote me made me stop and wonder why
But I guess you felt like you had to set things right
Just remember this, my girl, when you look up in the sky
You can see the stars and still not see the light
(that's right)

And I'm already gone
And I'm feelin' strong
I will sing this vict'ry song, woo, hoo,hoo,woo, hoo,hoo

Well I know it wasn't you who held me down
Heaven knows it wasn't you who set me free
So often times it happens that we live our lives in chains
And we never even know we have the key

But me, I'm already gone
And I'm feelin' strong
I will sing this vict'ry song
'Cause I'm already gone
Yes, I'm already gone
And I'm feelin' strong
I will sing this vict'ry song
'Cause I'm already gone
Yes, I'm already gone
Already gone
All right, nighty-night

... from an older thread and one I posted tonight. I think it's relevant to this diary.

Excellent Interview, Joe

As usual, I'm late to the party, but I wanted to commend and thank both you and JtC for creating this space with (largely) a hands-off approach. Allowing for a very wide range of opinions and dissent on this blog is, I think, the key to a healthy and vigorous debate on critical issues facing the nation. And something that is badly needed in democratic politics - whether or not such advocacy is within the context of an organized political party, or outside it.

The last thing anyone who is capable of rational thinking and articulating coherent policy positions needs is enforced conformity. That approach is representative of small-minded, insecure thinking.

"Let a thousand blog flowers bloom" seems to be the operating philosophy of c99% and for that and much more, many thanks.

Moving forward would be boycotting this damn political system. Going to Stein is still trying to work within the system, trying to somehow elect politicians in this system that will be able to make a dent in the oligarchy/plutocracy. Dream on I say.

Or I could say, yay, moving forward! But everybody else does that man. You don't want that.

what's up brother.

Your pretty good at diagnosis, but what's the solution. How specifically does boycotting elections bring about a better system. How do we escape systems? If an election boycott somehow leads to a collapse of the current system, what will replace it, and how will it be incorruptible.

I apologize in advance for my lack of understanding.

The change sought in this case would be to the political system that brought us Trump vs. Clinton. It would be a start. The problem I see with going third party is it will not cause change to the political system, it is simply an effort to work within the political system. The problems we face regarding democracy are immense, almost insurmountable at this point. But if we don't demand democracy we have no chance. This is not a democratic system, it's an oligarchic system. What can replace it is something we can bridge at a latter point. There are certainly valid options. But the first step has to be demanding change. A boycott is ONE of the actions we can take to try to force change. Remember the old terms, no guts no glory and go for the gusto. I believe we're at that point, there has to be people who will challenge this system, not join it.

Other than ensuring that the people who govern us are elected by people who are nothing like us, a boycott accomplishes exactly what?

party get people? Is that going to get us democracy, stop the wars, what? When other options are suggested outside the electoral system, those most indoctrinated to the system automatically reject the options in favor of voting for more politicians to make their fucking decisions for them.
Voting for third party is not going to secure politicians that govern us, i.e., Jill Stein has no chance of winning and will not govern us.
Maybe it's time people explain exactly what a third party effort is going to do. How is it going to change things?

up
0 users have voted.

You didn't explain in a way that I could follow. When a boycott is successful, the target looses something by your lack of participation, usually lower sales of some good or service the entity produces. Boycotting elections when there is evidence that the establishment is trying to drive down participation doesn't seem to me to create much pressure.

I am trying to understand your argument.

Successful third parties in a 2 party system either replace one of the dominant parties (See Republicans 1856-1860) or become large enough outside the constraints of the two party system to come back in and play a major, recognized role in one of the two dominant parties. Progressives were a suppressed offshoot of the Republican Party. They formed a third party. Teddy Roosevelt's Bull Moose Party received more votes than the Republicans in the 1912 presidential election. The Result of the split was the election of Democrat Woodrow Wilson. Ultimately, the Progressive Party served as a half way house for voters on the way from the Republican Party to the Democratic Party, which made changes to accommodate them.

the system is that it won't bother our political ruliing class a bit. They like it when people do not turn out to vote.The fanatical haters the partisan's from both parties show up to beat back the evil other side. Even if only 10% voted they would declare it a mandate and proceed full steam ahead. If nobody showed up that might just work. Even though awareness of how fucked up the system is at an all time high you could not at this point in time organize an effective voters boycott. I too want the whole crooked broken system gone.

I figure any move by growing number of fed up people , sideways or forward, inside or out is going to weaken their grip on power. Meanwhile they are blowing it as they are so damn arrogant they will not back off or even bother with the pretense of democracy. I vote but never Democratic anymore down ballot I go for every socialist or green who strikes my fancy. The solution will not lie within our broken electoral system on that we agree Big Al but if the voters keep throwing monkey wrenches into the political machines and also people become activists from the outside it's a good start/stop.

The Soviet Union fell apart because they did not offer any way for their citizens to parliamentary address their grievances. When that happens people withdraw consent to be governed and all hell breaks lose. I see the chaos born of discontent fermenting away among the people globally. I'm not one who fears that people globally will go Nazi and start turning to RW lunatics like Le Pen, Mussolini, or other assorted pig head fucking monsters. People thought up democracy and economics are another human construct. I put my faith in the humans globally to find a way indie and out to stop this shit. One way or another it's going down, it always does. It won't last as these asshole have always been around and will regroup for another assault on humanity and the earth.

Think horizontal as OWS did. I respect your position on voting and am glad you have withdrawn your consent. I may join you soon. Meanwhile I'm causing them as much trouble as I can, inside and out. the revolution be it political or outside the gates is coming so I for now play it as it lies. I like your attitude you have a good grip on the nature of this beast. solutions will come as nothing is inevitable or too big to fall. Life like politics is not static.

I tend to disagree that not voting is what the ruling elite want. I think they rely on illusions to keep their gig going, the illusion that we live in this fantastic democracy created by our "founding fathers" and that we're the greatest country on the earth. That's part of what we need to do, break the illusions. I think a boycott could throw a monkey wrench into the political machine in that it would help expose the fraud that we live in this great democracy. And that is what we should be after, democracy itself. It would have to be big and the numbers wouldn't have to be down to zero people voting but if we get it into historically low levels with an organized boycott, it would get attention.

The way I look at it is we have only so many options with this election. We have many other options outside the election, but for just the election we can vote or we can not vote. We can vote for third party or we can vote for the duopoly. Voting for the duopoly is out of the question. So it comes down to either voting third party or not voting. I don't believe voting third party has as much potential as an organized boycott to force change. In fact, I've yet to see a good explanation of how voting for third party will help us get democracy.

Someone else said we already have a democracy. I say we don't and if don't go get one we're shit out of luck no matter what else we try to do.

I don't think most on this blog have a solid opinion on the best way to fix things, but what's your solution?

I would also be in favor of open primaries, no more supers, or even do away with parties and move to ranked voting. But you seem to be short on specifics.

I got a call today from a subcontractor for my disaster building project who wanted to know the phone # for my GC.

Oh, I guess we're doing OK financially, it could be a bit better, but occasionally members take it upon themselves to do impromptu fundraisers, that helps. We are currently looking into having a c99p auction to help raise some funds and we're thinking about having some T-shirts made up. I do put many hours in, 7 days a week. I absolutely hate advertising and don't want to go that route if it's at all possible to avoid it.

Hope things work out with the subcontractor and general, him dropping out of sight is not a good thing. Good luck.

Would you consider a free one month trial for peeps, and if you like it here, you subscribe for $12 per year? Many here seem to be financially strapped but I'm sure there are some who could afford more than $12, say $30/year. A modest yearly rate is doable for me and probably others. Peeps in better circumstances may pay more.

Once a modest and fair paywall is set up, you won't have to worry when funds get low. Don't know how many are here but I'm guessing several thousands. And as you grow, funding will increase. Fair and doable?

Seems like a wonderful product to ask for subscription payments. JtC is very quiet about asking for financial support, and that's welcome in its way, but I'd like to see more of us realize that regular income is needed for a site like this. Advertising is one way to do that, but I agree with JtC that it's far from desirable. Look at what happened to TOP when Markos evidently decided to sell out.

And this place is a sanctuary, thank you.

And yesterday was a meeting for my son's program. The one he was drug tested for and then somehow passed. Turns out there are some corporate leaders out there who are trying to help people. So I'll be very keen to share how this 9 month, intense job training program works out. Building careers instead of just placement... pretty damn cool.

So that will be moving forward.

And I started a new job at the start of the year that is all fantangled up and a bit on the wild edge of crazy. So that's a huge change and still movement forward.

I just am sad because either way - People are going to be hurting more and more. We are just going to have to work very hard on making sure that we help in any way we can.

It's okay to be mad. It's not okay for that emotion to stifle us. It can inspire us but we need to make sure it doesn't engulf us at the same time.
