You know the problem with modern day progressives?
You don't have the passion, no drive.

I mean, you really can't just type random crap on the Intertubes and expect anything to get done. You have to have drive, enthusiasim, RAGE!



Now, for example, take Republican Phil Davison....This guy has passion

See, this guy isn't running for the Senate, nor Congress, Not even at the state level. This guy is running for local county treasurer full steam ahead :P


Click on video link to see real passion (not sure why he is still hitting puberty though :) )
Forward to 1:05 in the video

2. Yes I do: not enough of us.
And we don't need any steamed nuts, either.

6. It doesnt matter what he's done. It only matters what we on the left do.
I wont go so far as rage, but the left needs to get busy and make an impression in 2010. We need to support progressive candidates at state and local levels. Openly shun Blue Fucking Dog candidates.

We need to try to get the message out to the main stream masses that corporatism is the enemy.

7. I was gonna say that we are too tribal
"GIDGET GOES THOROUGHLY TRIBAL (permalink): Increasingly, contemporary politics is tribal. Here’s the bad news: As long as this situation obtains, plutocratic power will continue to consolidate its hold on our politics and our media, while two large groups of distracted haters yell insults at each other.

(One tribe will call the other “low-information bigots.” The second tribe will revile Tribe the first as a gang of “godless elitists.” With large chunks of the working- and middle-class electorate thus divided, oligarchic power will consolidate its control. Through the ages, this has had a name: “Divide and conquer.”)

In our view, this tribal politics is death for progressive objectives. Progressive reforms will never be achieved in this situation. It seems to us that savvy progressive leaders would warn against this tribal division."
