Reply #11: We have become a country of enablers [View All]

[Zodiak]

The ENTIRE country. And who do we enable? The meanest, the nastiest, and the most powerful and wealthy.

Half of our Democratic Senators are habitual voters for Republican bills. We are talking from voting with Republicans 45% of the time all the way to 95% of the time.

Half of the Democratic party rank and file enable the elected members of the Democratic party to repeatedly betray their base but still act like they deserve votes from the left.

The Republican party elected offcials have made a habit of enabling the Executive Branch.

Republican rank and file enable their leaders to continuously write legislation that does not benefit them.

The media enables the corporations to have all of the microphone to themselves.

And we, as citizens, enable this big ugly machine to roll onwards by showing up to work every day as if things are "normal", enabling the corporations even further.

A country of enablers, sycophants, and risk averse technophiles....I'm pretty sure that Thomas Jefferson is spinning in his grave. There are no consequences any more for the unscrupulous....and that is our fault for choosing the path of enablement.
