The problem with the Democratic Party is that they always run on Republican issues. Currently, Republicans are happy with the country without an immigration policy. They are content with Voter ID laws based in fraud. They are seeking to turn the USA military into a chronic assault force no matter where in the world there is conflict. They are successful in winning elections while defeating women's priorities and they win elections while children have no school books. They are successful in promoting the harvesting of greenhouse gases. They don't talk about those issues in their campaigns, they talk about the problem with Democrats.
Zephyr Teachout (click here) took only 34 percent of the vote in Tuesday's Democratic primary against New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, but she succeeded in bringing her old-fashioned populist platform to the attention of the media and a broad audience of voters.
Democratic politics give mass coverage to Republican priorities and their priorities are never are heard by the electorate. It is amazing to watch them defeat themselves.
Why be a member of a party that can't get out of it's own way?
Why do Republicans like low voter turnout?
Because their voters are more than content with same 'ole, same 'ole. They hate taxes and who doesn't? Ten percent of the USA debt right now is due to the Iraq War and it is known to be based in fraud. 5000 Americans are dead because of a fraudulent war and these bozos are still in office. Republicans have followers, not members. The people of this country DO NOT vote for their platform, they vote for change. If there isn't any change election after election there won't people voting.
"We can't appear to be weak on national defense." - The Iraq war was not national defense, it increased the danger to the country and has proven to be the most irresponsible act any Republicans carried out with our military. Where is everyone?
Any victories with global warming is all grass roots and local. That is the truth of the situation.
When the pubic is educated to their interest in the problems they face, it is then and only then that the truth is important. Otherwise they don't 'get it.' When people are unable to connect to the problem and it is abstract the Republicans are successful in dismissing it as a policy of cronyism. ie: Scientists get grants and vote opposition Republican.
The climate crisis is best talked about locally and with the truth and examples of that truth. The abstract discussion of global warming is too abstract and people don't connect.
The flooding in Kashmir is something that occurs once in a blue moon. That is false. The truth of the matter is the same as the truth in the flooding in the USA. The warmed Earth has an air mass that moves because of Coriolis and not because of the jet stream. The reason the flooding occurs with such danger and damage is because it lingers for long periods over the same 'soil' which becomes saturated OR stays saturated. Therefore, the flooding in Kashmir is due to the same processes for the flooding in the USA. The humanitarian crisis that results in Kashmir is due to the poverty of the people and their lack of emergency infrastructure. They don't prepare for disaster, they react to it.
The American political system hasn't changed, we are chronically choosing the least of the worst and then watch as the power within the federal government changes our leaders to move against our best interests.
The changes that we need have to start at the local level. Personally, I am not interested in 'what works' in politics, I'm interested in leadership that knows the truth and stands for it.
What I would not give to have a president of this country to stand up for what is right and best and fight for it. I never thought Obama would crater. Never. When he speaks to this country people listen. We all know that. But, evidently that is not the case for all the country's problems, including the culture of fear that drives the USA military at a moments notice. The media is a real pain in the ass.
