It can be so hard to get people to think beyond the surface. Who can blame them? I mean who has the time?
Voting
Bye Bye Dems - But Now What?
Submitted by jimpost on Tue, 07/05/2016 - 8:46amOkay, here's the deal:
I'm done with the Democratic Party. I'm done with lies and BS and Billery and everything they do. It sounds like damn near everyone who blogs here is doing the same. But now comes the big question: What do we do after we dump the dems?
How to fix US elections.
Submitted by luminous on Fri, 06/24/2016 - 5:41pmTheir is a lot of talk about whats wrong with US elections, and sadly to much of it is center one of two parts of the system rather then the entire process, It is rather disturbing how little security our elections have, and its not just the voting machines, or the tabulation machines, or the county ran database that swaps every ones party affiliation so that prechosen candidates can win. Its not enough to complain about an issue however so I want to outline what we can do about it.
Anti-Capitalist Meetup: Because the Political is Personal by UnaSpenser
Submitted by ny brit expat on Sun, 06/12/2016 - 4:53pmI’m angry. As many of us know, what’s often behind anger is hurt. So, I’ll admit that my anger is stemming feeling hurt. Why? Because the political is personal.
My open letter to the DSCC

Washington, DC 20002
Dear Senator Testor:
UPDATE: BOYCOTT THE MSM IF THEY CORONATE ON 6/7!
Submitted by SeaTurtle on Wed, 06/01/2016 - 8:15amUPDATE:
Sooo, one minor detail that I failed to take in consideration is that many of us already boycott the MSM. Whoops, so that wouldn't work for us, would it? But I wonder if we are just the few? I wonder about the rest of the Sanders supporters?
In any event a really good suggestion was given in a response to this diary on 'Kossacks for Sanders' by Knotlookin, that I would like to copy:
Waking up from the long sleep?
Submitted by Cassiodorus on Sun, 05/29/2016 - 2:20pmGopal Balakrishnan:
On numerous occasions since the 90s the left has rallied to a center-right candidate to ward off the far-right and the results have been disastrous. Not only is the far right strengthened by bolstering its credentials as the only real opposition force to the establishment, the left is drastically weakened at the expense of the center-right.
The Long Walk
Submitted by Ravensword on Fri, 04/29/2016 - 7:23pmIt’s nice to see many people are giving the Democratic establishment the middle finger by declaring that they won't vote for Hillary in November if she gets the nomination. However, it's almost May, and six months is a long time from now. Will the Bernie or Bust movement be able to hold strong until then? If Hillary gets the nomination, it’ll be the beginning of the long walk.
How I plan to vote, and why I'm here.
Submitted by martianexpatriate on Fri, 04/29/2016 - 10:39amThe other day I introduced myself. Someone read what I said, and indicated that they thought I might have come here to convince you all to vote for Hillary Clinton. That isn't the case, actually I came here because there's nobody to talk to in the real world around me, and I wanted to speak to progressives like myself.
However, I thought I would explain what I do think.
My Republican Girlfriend
Submitted by edg on Thu, 04/21/2016 - 2:35pm
When I was 8 years old, the girl next door owned a pink 3-speed Schwinn bicycle. Since my family was poor and I had no bicycle at all, I fell in love. We would pedal around the neighborhood with her perched on the handlebars and me joyfully switching gears while making race car motor sounds. It was heaven.
