Party Loyalty

[Zorra]

149. Generally, the Democratic left can be taken for granted because we are compassionate, responsible,

mature, and socially conscious.

We have a two party system.

We will generally always vote for the lesser of two evils, because if we don't, we know more people will be harmed by a republican than a Democrat.

The Democratic right will "take their ball and go home" and vote for a republican if they feel the Democratic candidate is too liberal for their taste.

The Dem right knows the Dem left can be taken for granted, because we are simply too kind.

It's a trap leading into a maze that has no way out, just the the grand delusions of *sunny optimism* that maintain the illusion of a way out.

Most of the political discussion here on DU is really little more than dust in the wind, because at the end of the day, after all the sound and fury, politically speaking we're still only going to get what the oligarchs allow us to get.

I see no alternative but well planned, focused, sustained and active non-violent revolution as our only recourse for initiating and creating effective egalitarian and compassionate democracy in the US, for the reason above, and so many other reasons as well.

Thank you for another thoughtful and accurate OP.
