In 2008, when Democrats swept congress and the White House (due in large part to that "pissed off" feeling) they were as inept and impotent as ever! I REALLY don't get that.
My only conclusion is that they are owned by the same nameless, faceless entities that own the Republican Party. We are bamboozled into the myth that our political process can only accommodate two parties. When both parties suck it's a no win situation. We, as a people, left, right, black, brown, white, ALL need to band together to oust these special interests who's best interest lies in keeping us divided and unorganized.
Everyone is tired of capitalism, whether they realize that this is what they are actually tired of or not. We are tired of mounting bills and escallating costs. We are tired of job insecurity, unemployment, lack of health care, vulnerability in our retirement, rising education costs for our kids who can't find a job even after years of college. We are tired of the faceless, nameless entities who get the lions share of our labor and force us to live off their table scraps.
There are alternatives to our present governance. Many have just been mislead about their implimentations and how they would actually affect their lives. But doing the same thing over and over is just plain insanity. It is time to give the government back to the people. I think that we are bright enough to govern ourselves in spite of what "they" tell us.
Idealistic, I know. But that's my two cents.
