Greetings good citizen, constant reader knows I have long promoted the fact that what we are raised to believe is DEMOCRACY, AIN'T by any stretch of the imagination:
Let's start with the headline, shall we?
How the hell can it be 'Our Revolution' if there is no way to communicate with these self-professed 'Revolutionaires'? Top down is what we suffer now, looks like the 'rebels' don't want that part to change...likely because asking for forgiveness is still easier than asking for permission.
But even this is a digression. Under ASP you would vote DIRECTLY on 'the law' without interference from any 'Party'.
Worse, emblematic of the crisis facing our species is how the Parties themselves have crept beyond their original mandates.
The 'Pro Capitalist' conservatives billed themselves as 'financially conservative' which translated in reality to being adverse to paying for anything! While their opposites, the financially 'liberal' understood moneys' 'true purpose/usefulness' as a tool for improving the lot of all mankind [that's not what 'The Progressives' are about but you can't have a two party system with only one party!]
Wake up and smell the manure, stupid! DEMOCRATS/LIBERALS don't exist anymore! [Not as a political force because the feckless refuse to fund them!]
Do you see anything in the above, er, 'communication/PSA' that would indicate the revolutionaries are interested in getting money out of politics? [My bad, the bottom of this e-mail has the ubiquitous 'DONATE' link but I wasn't about to use chumley's name without permission so I cut it off.]
Neither 'Party' represents what any of us wants for our children and there isn't anything we can do about that either because the whole process has become the captive of $ and is beyond the reach of those without any.
That wet slap you hear a little too close for comfort? [That is the sound your hand makes when it slaps against your sweaty forehead once you realize you are being played for a chump!]
Democracy, we're doing it wrong and there is NO WAY to use the ballot box to fix it! [because the problem starts with 'secret balloting'! We should throw our spears in piles in front of each other because nobody has ANYTHING to Hide, we are truly all in this together!]
Well, that was, er, 'therapeutic'...I don't know about you but I feel better. Nothing may change but I did my part towards setting the wheels in motion.
BURN THE POLLS!
Until next time, Head

Our Revolution
George,
Tomorrow, Our Revolution activists in Illinois will deliver thousands of petition signatures to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) Chair Cheri Bustos. It's been a busy couple of weeks, so allow me a moment to get you up to speed on what's going on, and how you can help.
First, we need you to sign the petition to stop the DCCC from rigging primaries for Democratic incumbents. Over 28,000 people have already signed, and we're trying to get as close to 35,000 signatures as possible before tomorrow.
ADD YOUR NAME »
We are delivering signatures to end the anti-democratic DCCC policy that was formalized last month. Starting this year the DCCC will “blacklist” consultants, firms, and vendors who work with primary challengers to Democratic House incumbents. They will not be permitted to work with other Democratic congressional candidates. So the teams who helped elect Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Rep. Ro Khanna, and many others are now being punished for challenging the establishment.
This goes against the very nature of our democracy. Incumbents are being protected, even when their policies are out of step with their constituents. The Democratic Party is hurting itself with this policy, but more importantly, it is hurting millions of Americans who need radical change right now.
I have seen firsthand how you speaking out has moved the Democratic Party in a more progressive direction. As a member of the DNC Unity Reform Committee, we took your input that the party must be more democratic, transparent and accountable. Thanks to your organizing, we were successful in ending the undemocratic influence of so-called “superdelegates” during the presidential primaries.
Our democracy is stronger when we have robust primaries. Add your name to tell the DCCC to stop their policy that blacklists the teams who help primary challengers win elections. Our Revolution activists will deliver your signature to the DCCC tomorrow.
Thank you for speaking up on this important matter.
In Solidarity,

ReplyDeleteThe party split is intentional...in case you were unaware.
