    What to do?

    I can't speak for the others, but if I knew what to do about this mess I wouldn't be posting letters on Salon this afternoon. Whether or not we have a good plan of action has nothing to do with whether or not we're correct in our assessment of the differences between the two major parties, however. All I'm trying to accomplish is to get more people to see things as (I think) they really are and to be realistic about the Democratic party, because you can't even begin to fix a bad state of affairs until you recognize it as such. People who see it this way are a disctinct minority right now, though, so I don't know what else to do but keep shouting.
