(3,317 posts)While we're arguing between "BernieBros" and "Camp Weathervane," the GOP is descending into open madness, and people are -still out voting for them-.
I followed TYT's coverage of the GOP debate last night, and between gritting my teeth every time Rubio spoke, the massive headache every time Trump spoke, and my skin crawling every time Cruz spoke, I felt like I was sick with the flu.
Don't let a candidate's -supporters- deter you. There is far too much at stake this election. The field on the right is absolutely insane. There's not a level head among them.
Build your candidate up without tearing the other down. If we all decided -right now- that we wanted to change the discourse, it would change.

So last night...I'm on a wide body aircraft during the "Scrum" of a debate...I walked around multiple times and could hardly believe that half to three quarters of the people, we're watching that steaming pile of crap.
THAT is scary because I didn't feel that it was being watched for amusement but that people are going to vote for one of those loons.
Terrifying.

I just can't handle listening to this crap anymore and realizing that so many actually support these fools. Decided to watch the Gold State- OKC game instead and keep what's left of my sanity.

(3,317 posts)I could watch it uncurated. Cenk, Ana, and John are great, I love watching them tear the debate down while it's happening. I sort of wish they'd have Ben on instead of Jimmy, but it's a good panel.
They voice all of the same frustrations I have at the same time as I'm thinking them.

(34,582 posts)They know you have to work from the bottom up. Start at the school board and work up the ladder. They've got these cretins at every level of government now.

(15,882 posts)The opponents started doing this again in earnest over a decade ago, going after power from the bottom up. They trained people, had them run - many times unopposed - and began to groom more.
There was an awful lot of training and consciousness-raising in the 40s, 50s, 60s, and 70s, then as the gov started removing opportunity, and the war ended, and we were attacked by, I mean elected Reagan, and it seems to have fallen out of favor today.
Is too bad, 'cause a little training sure goes a long way in taking back power. Without it you can spend a lot of effort, even get people hurt, yet net nothin' for all that.
On the other hand, if you have power, the last thing you want is for people to figure out how to share it with you.

(750 posts)Seeing the short news clips and EarlGs insights and graphics to illustrate the current Republican dissonance has a new historical twist.
Given that perspective Too big to fail now is more than a reasonable argument.
For big banks that screw up using the Gaussian derivative that the average person on the street does not know, is what is, is.
Considering a decade long and more effort by Hillary and Bernie to promote Health Care; while Trump conducts the flux of bankruptcy is the argument the neocon media left out.
The Gaussian is the core factor in any MBA college curriculum, that if abused can develop the genre of corporate fascism besides the oops in derivative high frequency trading, Bloomberg knows so well.
So the MBA can screw up then get the hell out and bailout, yet John Doe average citizen who always paid taxes is holding the bag convinced by the new neocon-media financial terror system, told to pay more.
Yes, the media is the key player
the ransom is more commercial revenue money, with the upswing in big secret lock boxes to hide the cash.
Yet matching that slogan if used for the Health Care goal Too Big To Fail for the Democratic platform changed to The need is too big to fail in their own words showing Universal HealthCare for everyone is more important than saving a bank CEO is a difficult argument for the Republicans, or anyone.
Considering twenty plus years of Republican obstruction without leadership to deliver an ultimate change to Universal Health Care for everyone is from my view not only a lost battle by a noisy media, but the ultimate occlusion in the Republican so called Conservative policies.
These Republicans being Conservative is a lie, a Trump lie; Health Care means a wholesome, Healthy America that lives on.
