To Those People That Contend Al Gore Shouldn't Run Because He Can Best Affect Change [View All]

[Uncle Joe]

To those people that contend Al Gore shouldn't run because he can best affect change from the out side. The usual contention is that our system or government is too corrupting for his ideas, my question is does the same argument hold true for the Democratic Party?

As the Democratic Party is approximately one half of this corrupted government, this line of reasoning seems to apply as well, so are they also arguing that people with vision, and ideals should leave the Democratic Party to change it from the out side? If Al Gore can best affect change from the outside doesn't the same hold true for all men and women of conscious, vision and ideas?

I’m not suggesting people should do so, just poking holes in the "logic" of this argument. I believe people can affect government from the outside but if the government remains corrupted any changes will be short lived or of just cosmetic nature. The only other way to change it permanently is through revolution and I’m not certainly not advocating that.


P.S. If the best you can do is type "Al Gore isn't running", please don't waste your typing skills as that's not the point of this thread.
