The KOS tagline 'more and better' Democrats needs to be changed to 'better.'
Beating Republicans only reinforces the status quo if there is no consequence for DEMS supporting corporatist, neo-con, neo-fascism.
Think about Kent State. They only had to murder five students in cold blood to cool the whole anti-war movement. Mexico was a little more brutal and obvious, but Tlatelolco put the government back in control.
No, I'm not advocating murder. Please. Just take them out (of Congress).
(Digression: I am waiting to see what forty years of advances in crowd control technology (hard and soft) will visit on citizens if any large number wakes up and takes to the streets in divers locations.)
Until the progressive left can visit ruin on identified DEMOCRATIC enablers of the Village Centrists, look for real change in your pocket. In the meantime maybe Obama can tone down the bellicose rhetoric, move the quagmire from Iraq to Afghanistan, and give us a watered-down health care reform that preserves corporate piracy of the health-care system.
Primary challenges. Pick your battles. Win them.
