The Democrats are already falling back into their totally non-self-reflective pattern of declaiming that they were betrayed and done in by sinister cultural forces and shenanigans. Not so. As the first parable I picked DiFi.
We participate on this site and others. We understand the value of Bernie Sanders or OWS. We understand that "the Economy" isn't something that just happens, but that it's a result of deliberate government policies. We see the blatant corruption of the dem party. We know that trump is a vacuous buffoon. We know who paul ryan and mitch mcturtell and Merrick Garland and rahm immanuel are. We know what's wrong with chained cpi and private prisons and school choice and tpp.
In light of some opinions I've read here, I decided to take the opportunity to elaborate on something I wrote as part of another essay... My opinions run contrary to some of those expressed here recently.
I'm not saying give in and get on board the $hillary train. I'm not saying LO2E is OK. It blows. But, it's probably a done deal...
When it comes right down to it, labels like "republican" and "democrat" take a back seat to what's really important: heeding the demands of the $$$ behind all of them that the current regime of unaccountable looting be upheld at all costs. Thus, you see establishment "left" and, in a slightly less open manner, establishment "right" falling in line to elect $ellery, because the $$$ knows their game will be safe in her hands.
