Reply #80: America is only two centuries old! [View All]

This is the kind of nitpicking bean counting theoiries only a young brash nation too powerful for its youth would take comfort with. Cycles? Parties have disappeared, flipped constituencies or merged into non-partisan glop. Tweedledee and Tweedledum remembere is a surreal and absurd idea. the wieght of reason is against its continuance in some kind of dualistic universe of Eternal Balance. Presumption that something is going to repeat is a guaantee of "unexpected" total collapse.

The only thing you can presume is that if the GOP cheating continues unchecked and the DLC pettifoggery holds hands in its focus groups the Democratic Party- the only viable people's party to check totalitarian one-party rule no other can pierce will expose its people to disenfranchisement and virtual slavery.

And not only does the DLC not get it in the slightest(I mean some of its central weaklink organizational leadership) but I doubt the best presidential candidates or managers do much better.

A crippling doubt and less upfront REAL leadership than is required.
