If there WAS a broad mass-based left-wing revolution during a Democratic presidency...

60. Yeah, I at least understand that

No shit. The history of the world is full of human suffering, yet revolutions are rare. The questions are what circumstances make revolutions possible. If you want to tell us what signs you see of revolution and what their underlying causes are, I'm all ears. Of course we can just wait for a couple of years and see if we have an election or a revolution and know for sure. My sense is that while the US, even the poor though to a far lesser extent, continues to benefit from exploiting the developing world, revolution is highly unlikely. Revolutions come when people see NO other option. The fixation of the presidency alone on this site shows you that people remain heavily invested in the political process.

I don't do, so I teach, but you fancy yourself a revolutionary. Isn't that special.

And you're mad because I don't indulge your fantasy that revolution is right around the corner. God forbid, people might actually have to put down the Cheetos and Playstations to make something happen rather than waiting from behind their computer screens for the proletariat to save them. Bummer. I know.
