It is now pathetically obvious that we are faced with class warfare on a scale not seen in this country since the Great Depression. And globally not seen since the turn of the 20th Century.
Industrialization provided the vast majority some value to their labor and a great increase in their numbers, i.e., ultimate overwhelming political strength. Tyrants (Kings, Emperors, Tsars, etc.) were systematically and mostly forcefully removed.
A few remain, and many would cherish the return of those times, only slightly more subtlely. It is the wholly obvious objective of those in charge of this country, those petty royaltie who support them, those petty bourgeois (many in the DLC, many more in and around Congress, Legistatures, etc.) who simply want to be "covered", the court and court jesters who shill for the anointed ones, and all those who have "drunk the kool-aid" with no real self interest to be served but still "supporting the (fill in the blank with the appropriate slogan)."
However, I believe it is finally SO OBVIOUS, SO ODIOUS, SO SINGULARLY VULGAR, and such a life and death choice, that those who seldomly or never vote might finally find the reason to do so.
However, we need candidates. Candidates who are obviously, truly, passionately behind those who are not in the above list of profiteers and baffoons.
Are we ready? Can we do that as a party?
