I give up. The Corporations and Lobbyists control EVERYTHING!

[tranche]

I'm so sad and dejected that some mornings I just wake up and cry. Every day I come to DU and post and comment until my fingers hurt and NOTHING EVER CHANGES! Face it folks, those with the money, those doing the lobbying, and those building organizations to influence congress are the ones who get everything they want! This country sucks and it's facist. Sometimes I think I'm just wasting my time on this board yelling at Obama. He's not listening and he doesn't care!

1. There are lots of quitters here.

Congratulations.

[proud patriot]

2. Times can be very discouraging

:hug:

3. I'm pretty sure the President doesn't spend his time here

Is that why you come to this board every day and type till your finger hurt- to bash Obama? I'm disappointed abut some thing too, however, I don't spend my time bashing him.

4. Is this supposed to be ironic?

Because it just comes across as pathetic.

[EFerrari]

6. Yep.

7. I was wondering the same thing, Tiger...

the OP definitely has more than a hint of parody to it. So bad, it's almost good (for a laugh...). SG

5. They always did. Time to read a little history. World, American...

Yet DESPITE their control we got universal suffrage, social security, the FDA...

So somehow things managed to get done. BTW, corporations aren't less in control in other western countries, yet they have healthcare.

I'm sorry you thought you elected a god who would solve all your problems. YOU DIDN'T. Now that you've stopped praying to Obama you can use your energy more usefully.

Or you can hold your breath till you turn blue.

9. You quit just because the sky is gray? How many 3rd world countries have put up with worse shit?

And some have toppled it, despite all odds. I lived in the horse shit corrupt nation of Venezuela when the morons from the Christian democrats and Social Democrats played politics with everything. Lazy ass corruption. Nepotism. Pretending they "nationalize" things. No control over cheap ass products.

You know what? Those downtrodden didn't quit. I saw the first marches of the "sin casa". I saw those two parties laughing at them and spitting on them. I remembered something from Cuba. The army that marches for free, wins!

And today you don't have those corrupt parties. Sure you read lots of shit about Chávez, Sure he makes some mistakes. That will be all you hear about. If he does 100 great things in a week and two stupid things, which ones will they tell you? and what they hope you will never ever understand if they drown out everything except Chávez is a dictator, is how did they accomplish that by knocking two of those most historical corrupt and powerful political parties in our hemisphere. Imagine if you could do that here!

Our president talks a lot. His words remind me of the real Red Cloud. "Your words hurt me a lot more than your bullets."

But understand that rivers of pain flow very deep. When they up well they will be no tears left to cry for the corporation thugs. There will be no national resistance. it will be global. And the people of this great planet will once again have what they need: their lives and planet restored to sanity.

Full power to the people!

10. Never give up. The tide will turn.

11. We now live in a Corporatocracy

not a Democracy. Democracy is dead.
