Reply #20: As a leftist, I think it's damn past time that the left got a clue. [View All]

If you REALLY want your agenda put into practice, you do it from the ground up. You don't expect the power structure in DC to do it for you.

The reason there's no viable "Left" in the U.S. is that far too many alleged "liberals" put all their faith into electoral politics, instead putting actual energy into grassroots organizing.

No real substative change is going to come from the top down -- anyone who thinks it will is a politically ignorant idiot.

"We" haven't been thrown under the bus. We were never relevant in the first place, because "we" haven't been willing to give up our comforts to throw our bodies upon the gears of the Machine.
