You have to destroy something to save it.

[Ironpost]

Where the hell is that kind of thinking coming from? It is hard for me to believe that this is happening to us and so many are eating it up. Disgusting I say.
on edit: I'm talking about the state of our state, the US

1. And how exactly do you fix something...

that is embedded in greed, and power, and hypocrisy?

Do you think you can take it back from the richest most powerful people on the planet? Especially by using rules they dont adhere to?

Good luck.

On Edit: I'm not saying that we should start using the same rules they use, i'm just asking how you plan to the system if they will play dirty 10 out of 10 times.

2. I say in the collective mind of DU the answers can be found.

4. Didn't profess to, did we get up on the wrong side of the bed or something

[LiberalVoice]

5. No, sorry.

I just thought since you said you were disgusted with the MEME that you have to destroy something to save it that you had a substitute idea. :shrug:

I'm just curious what those with views other then my own think. :)

6. no problem, I just don't buy into the kill it to save it theory

[LiberalVoice]

7. I honestly dont see any other alternative.

Our elections will be fixed until we revolt. I dont think we need to necessarily destroy the entire system. But it needs MAJOR revamping.

9. Yes it does, we need to start with hand counted paper ballots

8. It's like King of the Hill

A good player of King of the Hill can hold the hill for as long as he wants. Nobody can take him out, if he's got the basic skills and a certain amount of strength. The Republican Party finds itself in the same position--they basically rule the roost, and there's not a lot we can do about it initially.

So should we despair? No, we should not.

Because they are going to defeat themselves, and we are going to take advantage of their mistakes. The moral and intellectual bankruptcy of their proposals and plans, not to mention their previous goals, are being revealed for all to see. If we can capitalize on this, than we can eventually take them down and make our way to the top of the hill.
