In reply to the discussion: If there WAS a broad mass-based left-wing revolution during a Democratic presidency... [View all]Ken Burch
(50,254 posts)That was never the single biggest issue anyone had on the Left, and from what I've seen, nobody actually expected the HRC/WalMart thing to cause a revolution.
Many other issues have been brought forth since that was a big thing(side issue:in assessing HRC as a presidential candidate, are you saying her involvement with the most reactionary corporation in the country SHOULDN'T matter? That it was somehow unimportant? if so, why?) so it sounds rather childish that you're dwelling on it. Let that one go already. It just sounds like you're nursing a grudge for some reason.
The Left in this country now talks(as it always has)about unchecked corporate control of life, about the growth of income inequality, about the growing democratic deficit(in which most people have no real say about the most important issues that shape their lives...the major decisions about how our economy is run and who it is to benefit). The Left talks about(and organizes about)these issues, and the questions of war and peace, and the questions of individual and social rights for all. And
about how all of these things are interconnected.
I know a lot of history...probably as much as you do. So don't patronize me. Or anyone else here who disagrees with you. You personally have no monopoly on the facts.
