The Answer Is Turnout: Vote, You Jackass
By William Rivers Pitt
BuzzFlash at Truthout | Op-Ed

Saturday 15 March 2014

My mother.... blaa blaa blaa blaa...

Bill Clinton.... Blaa blaa blaa blaa...

Math:.... blaa blaa blaa blaa...

I have a fever-dream involving 80-90% turnout across the board in two consecutive elections, midterm and then general. Such a one-two punch event would change the country overnight, and these candidates you can't stomach would scurry back to the dark corners they came from. That kind of turnout would obliterate the power of money in politics in one fell swoop.

15. Well, I was debating pointing out that parties change

and I can see very well the Democratic Party becoming (once again) the party of business, the GOP going away, and a new lefty party replacing the Dems in that space.


**** you, Nadin. WHat are YOU doing abou it?---asks the bully DUmpmonkie...

27. It is not me, this is a historic process

the Demoratic Party has represented the interests of labor for the first half of the 20th century. In the last half, especially the last 30 years we have seen a turn right towards the interest of business, and away from traditional voting blocks.

This is obvious to anybody who understand political history. Look up third way.

37. It is not a dream of mine

At this point I am so damn jaded with politics that I vote, but don't expect any change whatsoever. It is an observation based on the history of the democratic party. It goes 180 every 75 years or so. And that is starting with Jefferson.


Will nadin be the next bobo the hobo to be bitchslapped into non-existance?

13. IT IS THAT SIMPLE.

14. No it is not

why are people NOT voting? Care to ask that question? Especially at very local, SPECIAL elections?

But even at national Presidential, we are well bellow turnout averages for other advanced economies, and even some not so advanced economies.

By the way, you are not the only one with Agenda 21 idiots, Some even get elected to boards here. Even as electeds they are not as influential as otherwise your assumption would say they should.

So no, it is not that simple...


Oh, man... teh Nadin just dissed the Moma...

Dream on, cousin.

I don't think history moves that way.

You need to go back to college and take some history courses, dear.

If the Democrat Party is in any way turning towards the interest of business I'd hate see what they'd do to the economy if they turned away from the interest of business.

Sorry Pitt. Your party doesn't vote unless there is a tangible result for voting. With the way gay marriage and pot laws are moving all by themselves now, there is no reason your base is going to do anything.

Liberal thinking is a two-legged stool and magical thinking is one of the legs, the other is a combination of self-loating and misanthropy.  To understand it, you would have to be able to sit on that stool while juggling two elephants, an anvil and a fragmentation grenade, sans pin.

I think 'Procrastinator' would be more appropriate.
