My fellow DUers. Let us not hope. [View All]

Seriously. There is ZERO hope of real change happening in November.

A few small things might get a little better, but the country and the world will still be getting the same crooked deal we've been getting in stronger and stronger measure since at least 1963 if not longer.

The best possible case is that one of the leading "democrats" will "win" and fiddle around the edges--take the angry edge off the masses before we truly revolt. But this time around, after the next "president" allows the current generation of oligarchical criminals to get off scot-free, fewer than ever will own more than ever. The wealthy will take the trillions they've siphoned away from the masses, further entrench themselves as the new aristocracy (same as the old aristocracy), and start plotting their next foray into overt control over our "democracy" in eight or twelve or sixteen years.

Let us not fool ourselves with FALSE hopes. Let us rather set our sights on something achievable--legislated 100% corporate control over our health and our lives, for example. Fewer and fewer restrictions on corporations. A multi-generational military presence in Iraq. A continuing reliance on petroleum. Fewer civil liberties. To dream of any other future is delusional. I implore you my friends! Do not prepare for failure by working to achieve your FALSE hopes or by supporting those candidates who pander to you by promising what they can not possibly deliver.
