I have read a few friends’ comments recently, in which they question why people are saying “elections are not viable solutions” to our urgent problems. Here’s the most articulate answer to that question that I have found yet - by U of O professor Gordon Lafer. A good read. And indeed, after the Democrats proved when they had a majority in both houses and the presidency, they obey the 1% and abandon the 99% just as reliably as Republicans. The difference is the Dem’s use more polite language, and better grammar as they reward banks for notorious felonies. The Repub’s are perhaps more honest in that they point at the middle class and poor and laugh and sneer and say “fuck you, losers,” while the Dem’s pretend to be our friends.
