I've got news for you. The Democratic Party are a pack of jackals too. You always have to be a monster to get to a position of power in representational democracy. I was addressing the general tone of both salon.com and other liberal websites who somehow see Obama as some kind of "different" politician. This is a sop piece. One that again just carries on the blind charade of "choice" or "power" for the average citizen. And btw that's what the Orwell reference was about as he was particularly incisive about the moral horror of representational party politics.
She gave a nice speech. I could give a fuck. Nothing will change. Same as it ever was. That's not snooty or cynical. That's realistic. I just get frustrated that a website such as salon which has quite a few intelligent and reasoned journalists is playing the same moronic game as everyone else instead of raising real questions or looking for real answers. This is not the best we can do. It's time we stopped pretending it was.
